A person faced with 8 crimes in allegedly a month ‘washing’ check

A man in Miluoka faces numerous accusations of fraud and money laundering after he was stealing a mail from a mailbox and forging checks in Miluoka, West -Alice and Vawatos.

Probably, Brexton Clark, 27 years old, tried about $ 315,000 fraudulent transactions, according to a criminal complaint filed on Tuesday to the Miluoki District Court. From this amount, police say Clark has succeeded in surrendering about $ 287,000.

According to the online record in court, the arrest warrant for Clark was issued on Wednesday.

Clark threatens eight crimes, on a complaint. These meetings include:

Conspiracy to commit forgery
Conspiracy to commit moving property (more than $ 100,000)
Conspiracy to commit unauthorized use of personal identification information or documents
Unauthorized use of personal identification information or documents
Conspiracy to commit money laundering
Conspiracy to commit a fraud against a financial institution (over $ 100,000)
Conspiracy to commit a fraud against a financial institution
Jumping

If he is sentenced to all points, Clark can threaten up to $ 150,000 and/or up to 70 years in prison.

Several offenses are charged at a time as a conspiracy. The state reserved the right to issue every fraudulent transaction that has taken place.

According to the criminal complaint:

Police claim that Clark participated in the Washing Check Scheme from May 2024 to October 2024, where he stole the mail in the blue boxes of US postal services. From the mail he received checks and changed the “Pay” and “Sumy” fields to benefit himself and others.

The investigation found that checks are often stored in several different accounts, which were often newly created and little transactions stories. Shortly after the deposit, fraudulent funds were removed, police said.

“Clark was engaged in a wide scheme for deception of persons and financial institutions through theft and changes of checks,” the complaint said.

They influenced several financial institutions, including PNC Bank, Fidelity Investments, JP Morgan Chase Bank, One United Bank and Bank Bank.

Several Fake Checks Reports Started Investigation

The Western Alice police began to receive complaints about the theft of mail and fake in July 2024. The reports stated that many people sent checks between May and October, which were fake and paid for a different name.

Clark was suspected because many fraudulent checks were changed to pay him. Other names were used for some deposits.

Law enforcement agencies considered USPS boxing, and later identified Clark as who received access to several mailboxes at different dates.

The authorities have listed the following USPS drops where checks were removed, “washed” and put into Clark accounts:

1655 Northern Meifaire -Road in Vavtos
7440 West Greenfield Avenue on Western Allysa
North 64 -a Street and Western Blumund -Road in Vavtos
Southern 75 -a Street and West -Grinfield -Avenu on Western Allez
345 Western Saint -Pole Avenue in Miluoka

In one case, at 11pm on July 14, 2024, about 7440 w. Greenfield Ave., a male can be observed by a squat near the mailbox “in such a way that corresponds to the one who opens the mail door to remove the objects” on the complaint. Then he gets up and goes away.

On the same day, the person posted a check in the Drop box for $ 411.82. Later, this check was made to an account called Braxton Clarke and was changed worth $ 4800.12.

Another incident, at 10:56 pm on September 1, occurred at the Miluoki County Transit System in South 74^then Street and Western Greenfield -Avenue. A few minutes later, the man got off the bus and was noticed nearby.

The surveillance cameras followed the man until he sat on another MCT bus. The video from the inside of the bus confirmed that the same man was sitting on board, pulling out envelopes from the backpack, opening them and placing the contents in their pockets.

The man scanned his MCT app for both the attractions and for the MCT safety identified an account with the e -mail that belonged to Clark.

Power gathers more evidence through the search for an apartment

Police were also able to identify Clark by other means, including the evidence assigned during a search of his residence.

Police executed a warrant for a search on Clark’s apartment on October 2. He was taken into custody and he was recognized as two checks, which later confirmed that he would be written to other parties. He also had two phones that included photos of themselves, as well as photographs of postal offices in Miluoukee County, checks and information about entering a bank account.

Detectives found three more checks in the apartment, which they decided to “wash”. They also found a backpack that corresponded to those who wore the male in video surveillance. Inside there were vouchers for payment of Wisconsin and indicative vouchers for profit for many people.

Clark worked with others, says police

Officials say Clark combined with others in a large -scale mail theft and checking the washing scheme. The complaint lists six others, for which Clark had financial information.

Police said Clark has information about the entry into the financial accounts for several parties on his phone. Law enforcement officers believe that Clark coordinates with others to distribute checks.

The police also received a textual conversation transcript between Clark and an individual in Georgia, in which they discuss several investment banks and committed fraud.

Similar predictable activity in the past, claims complaints

In all these cases, Clark was collateral after being charged with a crime, the complaint said. He was released on June 6, 2023, provided that he did not commit new criminal offenses.

In addition, in November 2023, Kudakhi police stopped traffic on Clark and the other two. Clark found that he possesses marijuana together with “numerous pieces of mail that were not him”, according to the complaint.

The jeep found a black bag with a few pieces of mail from different addresses. In the compartment for storing doors issued by different people, produced by different people.
