Former OKC Attorney Pleads To Fraud Charges
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A federal prosecutor says a longtime Oklahoma City attorney has pleaded guilty to fraud. U.S. Attorney Danny Williams Sr. says 74-year-old John Merritt pleaded guilty in three separate cases of devising schemes that resulted in him illegally receiving more than $3 million. Williams says Merritt pleaded guilty Monday in Oklahoma City federal court to using false financial statements and income tax returns to obtain a $1.75 million line of credit from a Tennessee finance company. Merritt also pleaded guilty to using false statements and tax returns for an $800,000 line of credit at Quail Creek Bank of Oklahoma City and to forging another attorney's signature on $500,000 in checks. Merritt pleaded guilty in July to cheating clients -- including children -- out of money from trust funds and lawsuit settlements. "Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
