    So are any of these business actually legit, or where they all registered and then commercial checking accounts set up just to commit fraud image

    Also would dealers actually take a business check from a lawn care service image

    I'd have argued $50,000 bond isn't enough since this guy can pull multiple $10k+ bad check crimes to provide for living elsewhere.

    He can post $5,000 (easy for him or others to get) to get out.

    I hope he doesn't run.



    Is it possible to find out who bonds the person out??

    Not only that, but I hope the authorities don't take his check to pay the bond! image

    50k bond should be no problem for this guy, he can write them a check for the full amount.image I figured he posted bond asap and left before they added any more charges.

    Probation, fine and he will pay about 500 in total restitution before he quits paying. Hopefully they will make an example out of him.

    "HARRISBURG, AR (KAIT) – A Region 8 man was charged with forgery, theft and theft by deception in Poinsett County Wednesday. According to Poinsett County Prosecutor Marty Lilly, 41-year old David Todd Young of Harrisburg was arrested at a residence at 13960 Ridgewood Lane. Lilly said Young had been printing fake checks from his computer and using them to purchase items and deliver them to a number of addresses."


    If he owns that home, Larry should file a lien against it ASAP. The law favors those who act quickest.

    Exactly what do you mean by that? What do you have against people that own or work for a lawn care service? I know folks that own a lawn care business and they do quite well finincially.

    A business owner could be using that as a way of paying himself.

    let's not get at each other's throats.

    Go to the linked web site on page 1 and you'll see it took a local business' check fraud complaint to get the police chief to act, not Larry's complaint.

    I note the house listed in the story was recently sold in Oct 2010. My quick check didn't uncover who bought it.
