BENTON, La (AP) -
Bossier Parish Sheriff Larry Deen says a man who allegedly got $1 million in bogus checks cashed at casinos nationwide is in the parish jail.
Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Baswell says 47-year-old Charles Bradford’s bond is set at $90,500.
In a news release, Deen says deputies arrested 13 locals and expect at least four more arrests. He says they allegedly were recruited over three years when Bradford was in and out of Bossier City.
Baswell tells The Times that Bradford would go to a casino city or town, counterfeit checks of local businesses, and recruit people to cash them.
After Bradford’s arrest, investigators learned the Secret Service wanted him for similar schemes in Arkansas, California, Florida, Kansas and Ohio.
