A suspect, identified as Darryl Frank ‘Buster’ Skrine, was arrested at Pearson International Airport on Wednesday night after investigators became aware that he had made travel arrangements to return to the United States.
The investigation in Durham began in July of this year, though police say that the alleged offences took place between September, 2022 and this summer.“He did use his position as a former NFL player to the banks as he was depositing the checks,” Sgt. Joanne Bortoluss told CP24. “The investigators are still going through the evidence that they have. If that evidence leads to grounds for additional charges then additional charges would be laid.
She said that in each of the cases, the accused is alleged to have produced fraudulent cheques and then obtained a portion of the money from those cheques prior to them clearing.
