NOT CHARGED | FRAUD SCHEMES, FALSE REPORTING AND DEFRAUDING A SECURED CREDITOR (DMC No. 8601) State vs. Mr. B. (Glendale Police Department): Mr. B.’s fiancé had purchased a vehicle from a local car dealership. Two months later, Mr. B. and his fiancé filed a police report that the vehicle had been stolen. Police later found the vehicle at a co-workers house of Mr. B., and it had various performance upgrades made to the vehicle. The co-worker said that he had bought the car from Mr. B. We were able to poke holes in the co-workers claim in that he had no receipt for cash that he had supposedly given Mr. B. for the vehicle. We informed detectives that he most likely had duplicated Mr. B.’s keys and stole the vehicle in the middle of the night from Mr. B.’s fiancé’s house as she had claimed. No charges were brought against Mr. B., even though he was currently on probation for a prior possession of stolen property charge. In addition, he had a prior fraud schemes conviction several years earlier. He was originally facing well over 2 decades in prison, yet was not charged with any crime.
