A man from Atlanta, Georgia is facing multiple felony charges in Boone County for defrauding a local business. Cordary McFarland has been charged with six counts of forgery and three counts of stealing. Despite the charges, he is not currently in custody and a $100,000 bond has been set. According to the bond memo, McFarland is believed to be in Springfield, Missouri after authorities tracked his phone and rental car from Indianapolis, Indiana.
The bond memo alleges that McFarland has been traveling around the country with the intent of passing forged documents to banks and financial institutions in order to steal money. It is believed that he has the means to access rental cars and airline flights through associates in Georgia who assist him in his criminal activities.
An employee of a local business reported three fraudulent transactions involving forged checks totaling $1,810.17, $2,852.17, and $2,587.18. The probable cause statement has been heavily redacted due to sensitive information related to the case.
