| WAGONER COUNTY–
Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak, Wagoner County District
Attorney Brian Kuester and Wagoner County Sherriff Bob Colbert announced
the apprehension of Marshall Virden by the U.S. Marshall’s Fugitive
Apprehension Task Force in Pinellas County Florida.
“We do not
yet know the full scope of this criminal’s activity in Oklahoma
and we are asking the media to help us find others who might have had
contact or similar dealing with Marshall Virden,” said Doak.
A press conference
is scheduled for 3:00 pm at the Wagoner County Courthouse on March 28,
2012 to discuss the details of Virden’s apprehension and forthcoming
extradition back to Oklahoma.
Please contact the
Oklahoma Insurance Department’s Anti-Fraud Unit at 405-521-6614
if you believe you have been victimized.
Virden, charged
with exploitation of the elderly, allegedly convinced elderly victims
to cash in their retirements for the purchase of gold certificates.
OID’s Anti-Fraud Agents found during their investigation that no
gold was actually bought for the victims; but that Virden had instead
embezzled the victim’s money.
OID investigators
brought their findings to Brian Kuester, the Wagoner County District
Attorney, where charges were filed and a warrant was issued for his
arrest.
Through an anonymous
tip, the U.S Marshall’s were able to find Virden and arrest him
earlier this morning in Pinellas County Florida.
