Derrel Larkins Indicted for Counterfeit Securities

GRIMY TIMES EXCLUSIVE: Tory Derrel Larkins, 30, from Lithia, GA, has been indicted for possession and utterance of counterfeit securities, according to the February 2015 Federal Grand Jury. The charges stem from an investigation by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the United States Secret Service.

Larkins is accused of knowingly possessing, uttering, and causing to be uttered counterfeit checks of MTW Creations, LLC, drawn on an account at Bank of America. The allegations claim that these actions were committed with intent to deceive another. If convicted, Larkins could face up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000.

The investigation into Larkins’ activities was initiated following the discovery of the counterfeit checks within the Eastern District of Oklahoma. The charges are in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 513(a).

Marnita Carol Parker, also known as Marnita Carol Foster, 48, from Ravia, OK, faces her own set of serious charges. Parker is accused of embezzling over $1000 from the Department of Veterans Affairs and making a false statement to the VA on a Marital Status Questionnaire.

Parker’s alleged actions spanned from October 2009 to May 2014. She now faces up to 10 years imprisonment for embezzlement and an additional 5 years for making a false statement, with fines of $250,000 for each offense. The investigation into Parker was conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General.

Both cases are currently being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Rob Wallace. As always in federal court, neither defendant has been found guilty. They are presumed innocent until proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt.
