Ashley D. Dunlap, Using Counterfeit Securities to Defraud, Indiana 2013
An East Chicago man is facing charges for allegedly using counterfeit securities to defraud the Gary Housing Authority, the Grimy Times has learned.
Ashley D. Dunlap, 54, was indicted on two counts of uttering a counterfeit security, according to the United States Attorney’s office in Hammond.
The indictment alleges that in July 2013, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development approved federal funding for building renovations at the Delaney and Dorie Miller public housing projects operated by the Gary Housing Authority (GHA). Dunlap’s construction company was awarded the project, worth $347,500.
The successful bidder was required to provide a surety. Dunlap purported to provide the surety – in the form a 20% cash escrow – to GHA on or about September 3, 2013 with two counterfeit instruments purporting to be Chase Bank cashier’s checks in the amounts of $20,000 and $49,600.
The United States Attorney’s office emphasizes that an indictment is merely an allegation and that all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
If convicted, any specific sentence to be imposed will be determined by the judge after a consideration of federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The indictment resulted from an investigation conducted by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General. This case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Maria Lerner and Abizer Zanzi.
