A 22-year-old Brooklyn man, Omar Plummer, was arrested after arriving on a cruise ship in Florida and is now facing charges for identity theft and theft in McHenry County, Illinois.
Plummer is accused of stealing the identity of a man from Woodstock and fraudulently withdrawing over $30,000 from the victim’s Elk Grove Village business. Court documents allege that Plummer used the victim’s personal and company information to alter and forge a check totaling $30,621.85 in January, depositing it into an unauthorized bank account.
During his initial court appearance, Judge Jeffrey Altman granted Plummer pretrial release and allowed him to return to New York with the condition that he appear at future hearings via Zoom. Additionally, Plummer is ordered to have no contact with the victim, his home, or his business.
