An arrest warrant has been issued in Brown County for a man accused of defrauding area financial institutions.
Court records show that a warrant has been issued for 58-year-old Dion Crawford after he did not show up to his initial appearance on Thursday (September 25th).
Crawford, a Milwaukee resident, is facing felony charges of Fraud Against a Financial Institution and Money Laundering-Knowingly Receiving or Acquiring Proceeds in Brown County for an incident that occurred in November of last year.
WHBY reports that Crawford is one of 19 suspects charged in a large-scale money laundering scheme.
Authorities believe that Crawford and 18 others posed as fraud specialists for both Fox Communities Credit Union and Community First Credit Union and stole nearly a quarter of a million dollars from members of those financial institutions.
