A deputy sheriff from Dodge County, Nebraska has plead guilty to wire fraud for a scheme he was operating while actively serving as a deputy. He started a firearms licensing business under the name Tactical Solutions Gear, faked contracts with the Illinois State Police, the Kansas Wildlife Department, Nebraska State Patrol, Kansas City Police, Werner Enterprises, several other law enforcement agencies and at least one defense contractor. Fake contracts in hand, he convinced six individual investors and one banks to loan him $10.9 million as an investment into his growing business. The six individuals loaned him $6m between them, with the bank loaning the rest.
The problem was that none of these contracts existed, and his business was floundering. Authorities were contacted and now-former Deputy Sheriff Craig Harbaugh has just plead guilty to wire fraud and is set to be sentenced on May 10th.
Hats off to you, deputy...running a con while on the job...multi-tasking!
