Columbia, Missouri (KMIZ)
An Atlanta, Georgia, man was indicted on January 30 on multiple felonies for allegedly defrauding a Boone County business.
Caudalie McFarland was charged Tuesday with six counts of forgery and three counts of theft. He is not in custody. Bond was set at $100,000. The bail memo states that McFarland is now in Springfield, Missouri, after authorities tracked down a phone he used in Columbia and a rental car he rented in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The bail memo states that McFarland travels around the country for “the criminal purpose of passing forged documents to banks and financial institutions in order to steal forged checks from those institutions and businesses with the intent to deceive and steal.” It is stated that.
The memo states that McFarland “has access to rental cars and flights that he uses to carry out his criminal enterprise through associates outside of Georgia.”
A heavily redacted probable cause statement said an employee of one company reported three fraudulent transactions involving forged checks worth $1,810.17, $2,852.17 and $2,587.18.
