SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — 31 year old Christopher Day of Alcester has been indicted on 12 Counts of Wire Fraud and 8 Counts of Mail Fraud.
The Indictment alleges that between 2015 and 2019, Day knowingly and unlawfully devised a scheme and artifice to defraud and to obtain money and property by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises.
The indictment also alleges that between 2018 and 2019, Day knowingly caused to be sent and delivered by the U.S. Postal Service invoices for transactions involving Day’s shell business, which were sent to Day from his employer. Day would allegedly order parts for himself, which he would resell online.
Day allegedly would make it appear as though those parts were ordered on behalf of his employer’s customers. He would then cancel the orders, but still keep the parts. The charges are merely accusations and Day is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
