This is insane.
Long story short. I know this guy, we graduated high school together.
When we were in high school, he worked at a large amusement park nearby during the summer. He would brag about stealing cash and making up fake receipts to cover his tracks, he did this for 3 years, I'd guess about $100,000 worth of stolen money, maybe a little more.
Then he started working at a semi-local Best Buy. He would tell friends/family/acquaintances that if they wanted to buy something, he would buy it on his employee discount and pass the savings. A $1500 TV would be $550 or something. The person would pay him the money, he would steal the TV and keep the money. He did this for a year or two. I have no idea how much money he stole during this time.
Next, he got caught at Best Buy and went to work at a Sears store. Started doing the same thing with washers/dryers, ping pong tables, etc. It's unclear if he was fired or if he quit this job.
At this point, publicly, he attended the University of Missouri - Columbia for some type of medical studies program. Graduated. Went to a med school in Chicago...then back to MU. Turns out, that was all a lie.
Someone, I have no idea who wish I did, made a Twitter account tracking all of the nonsense unfolding over the last few months. Here is the original screenshots from a subforum in Reddit before it got on Twitter, detailing a lot of it.
The local PD, Sherriff's Department and the highway patrol went to his house on an arrest warrant... couldn't find him. Ended up finding him hiding in a secret room in the attic behind insulation.
Here's the Twitter account. https://twitter.com/AgentHanratty
I thought the handle was clever. Agent Hanratty is who Tom Hanks played in Catch Me If You Can.
