A Michigan man has been indicted on 52 counts of first degree forgery after he allegedly stole $153,000 from his cousin and her ex-husband, according to the Milton Police Department.
On May 13, 29-year-old Dwight H. Windom of Westlaw, Mich., was indicted by a grand jury after Brad Malkin, head of the Fulton County District Attorney's Office White Collar Crime Unit, and Milton police detective Stephen Hewitt presented evidence against him stretching back to 2008, according to a news release by Capt. Shawn McCarty.
According to police, Windom stole checks from his cousin, DaShawn Snow, and her husband at the time, Eric Snow, made them out to himself and cashed them.
