A Key Largo man arrested Saturday for a business
burglary in the Upper Keys was also charged with an outstanding warrant for forging
three checks he stole from an elderly woman and cashing them.
The 75 year old Key Largo victim told Deputy
Christopher Kilmurray she wrote a check to 28 year old Scott Prior for $400 to
help him out on April 8th. On April 18th, she got a call
from her bank. They were concerned because Prior had come in to the bank four
times in the past 10 days, each time cashing a check for $400. The victim told
them she’d only written one check to him; she subsequently discovered three
checks missing from her checkbook.
A warrant was issued for Prior’s arrest and when
he was arrested for a business burglary in Key Largo on Saturday, he was
subsequently charged with three counts of grand theft from a person over 65
years of age and three counts of forgery.
