September 14, 2000 Chicago Man Arrested for Bank Fraud Kathleen L. McChesney, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced today the arrest of DARREN M. LYNN, age 32, of 506 East 95th Street, Chicago, Illinois. LYNN was arrested by FBI agents yesterday afternoon, without incident, based of a Federal warrant filed in Madison, Wisconsin, which charged LYNN with Bank Fraud. LYNN is suspected of being part of a ring that successfully negotiated forged checks at several banks throughout the Midwest. LYNN is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Chicago, pending an appearance in U.S. District Court in Chicago, later today. The public is reminded that an arrest warrant is not evidence of guilt and all defendants in a criminal case are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. |
