TN Man Accused Of Stealing From Wrestling Company
Connecticut police say a Tennessee man stole nearly $51,000 from World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. by somehow obtaining the number of a company bank account.
The Advocate of Stamford reports (http://bit.ly/zkxXmz) that 34-year-old James Dewayne Bass of Prospect, Tenn., was extradited this week to Stamford from Tennessee. He was arraigned in state court Thursday on felony larceny and forgery charges.
Police in Stamford, where WWE is based, say a company attorney called them in November to report that $50,816 had been taken out of a company bank account and was used to buy merchandise and services over the Internet or by phone. WWE officials say they’re not sure how Bass allegedly obtained the bank account information.
Bass is detained on $50,000 bail and is due back in court March 22.
