Judge orders home confinement for accused COVID-19 fraudster, citing virus outbreak at jail:
Prosecutors said Casper is a seven-time felon, citing his previous convictions in North Carolina for stealing and then selling restaurant equipment and his guilty plea last month. But as agents searched his apartment last week for this most recent allegation of fraud, prosecutors say they found evidence of more crimes, including alleged unemployment benefits fraud.
Casper was arrested last Friday and was ordered held without bond after the government argued"there are absolutely no conditions of release that will ensure that Casper does not continue to defraud people."N95 masks wait for deployment at the Anne Arundel County Fire Department supply depot on April 9, 2020 in Glen Burnie, Md.
"I really think it’s a hard call. Under any other circumstances, I would not hesitate to detain Mr. Casper for what I think are new law violations," Mehta said.
