ALBEMARLE, N.C.,None — A man faces 63 charges after investigators say he made unauthorized transactions on someone else's checking account.
Eric Dale Diggs, 28, was arrested on Monday and charged with 21 counts of financial identity fraud, 21 counts of forgery or counterfeiting of instrument and 21 counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.
The Stanly County Sheriff's Office said it received a report in November of a breaking and entering in Albemarle. Investigators said they didn't find any evidence to identify a suspect at the time, but the victims later reported that several suspicious transactions were made on a personal checking account.
The purchases began around the time of the initial report and continued for months, the Sheriff's Office said. A total of 21 unauthorized transactions were made.
The Sheriff's Office said investigators identified Diggs as the suspect and took him into custody on Monday. He was taken to the Stanly County Detention Center and given a $20,000 secured bond.
Diggs' first court date is set for May 16.
