Logan For 54 Counts of Forgery
posted (August 31, 2015)

Tonight 28 year-old Glenford Logan is out tonight on bail after he was arraigned before Magistrate Deborah Rogers for 54 charges of forgery, theft and uttering upon a false document.

According to police 78 year-old retired Canadian John Oliver reported that last week Monday, the bank called him to say that there had been 18 suspicious cheques which were cashed to withdraw $6,250 from his bank account. When he investigated, he realized that his cheque book had been stolen from his vehicle, and when he saw the cheques, he confirmed that his signature had been forged.

Police investigated, and charged Logan with 54 criminal offences of forgery, theft and uttering upon a false document. He was arraigned today before Magistrate Deborah Rogers, but before the arraignment started, police asked our court reporter and another freelance journalist to leave the court room. That's very unusual because the press is usually allowed to observe such cases, and are only asked to leave in sensitive cases involving minors.

So, we're unfortunately unable to share the details of his arraignment with you, but reliable sources from the court tell us that Logan pleaded not guilty and was released on bail of $6,000. He must return to court at a later date.
