Killer allegedly used unemployment checks to help his gang
Jack Dolan and Shelby Grad (Los Angeles Times) | March 5, 2012
A convicted murderer who allegedly cashed $30,000 worth of unemployment checks through family members used the money for his street gang, officials said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department alleges that Anthony Garcia used family members and friends to fraudulently obtain unemployment insurance checks, according to spokesman Capt. Mike Parker.
Parker said the unemployment money was being “used to benefit a criminal gang.” Some of money went to Garcia’s fellow incarcerated gang members, he added.
Parker did not say whether Garcia would face additional charges.
“Theft, drug sales and violent crimes are an integral part of the gang culture,” added Sgt. Kevin Lloyd of the sheriff’s homicide bureau in a statement. “We will continue to go wherever gang members and their associates commit their crimes. Our goal is to reduce violence and solve crimes and that is what we are doing. This investigation is continuing.”
