SEBASTIAN — A Sebastian man was arrested on a warrant for allegedly signing
fraudulent checks meant for a roofing company.
The Sebastian Police
Department (SPD) said on May 23, officers found and arrested
57-year-old Ricardo Barrera on an active warrant.
According to police, Barrera using the LLC R&M Exterior, was
subcontracted by large roofing companies. Police said
Barrera would allegedly sign fraudulent checks from the
homeowners or insurance companies that were meant for the
roofing company.
Rather than the company receiving those checks, Barrera is
accused of keeping the money for himself, the SPD said.
Barrera was booked into the Indian River County jail for
organized fraud, cashing or depositing items with the intent
to defraud, and grand theft. He is being held on a $110,000
bond. |
