Man Enters Pre-Trial Diversion Agreement
WEST VIRGINIA....
James Michael Gibson entered into a pre-trial diversion agreement Tuesday with federal prosecutors after facing a 15-count indictment alleging mail fraud, wire fraud, identity theft and misuse of a Social Security number. Under the agreement, approved by U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers, Gibson agrees to serve 12 months probation and to pay varying amounts of restitution: $963 to Verizon, $7,705 to City National Bank and $7,300 to BB&T. In exchange, the government agreed to not prosecute the case as long as he complies. A July 2009 indictment charged Gibson authored checks transferring funds between three banks while there were insufficient funds to cover transfers and subsequent withdrawals, tallying a loss of $12,000 to the banks, merchants and vendors.
