Sixty-Seven year old Walter Lunsford has been indicted on ten counts of theft and fraud charged with tapping into a Federal Reserve bank account to buy over a hundred thousand dollars worth of cars.
The Federal government got their money back but Car Dealer Bob Thomas who owns Capitol City Ford says he's left holding the bag.

"In all Capitol City Ford lost in excess of $100,000 and $60,000 in legal fees," said Thomas. Prosecutor Carl Brizzi says Lunsford figured out a way to use his social security number and a routing number to open a line of credit he claimed was legitimate. He told the dealership he was representing beneficiaries of a huge trust and was in charge of purchasing cars.
"There are seminars out there who teach people who believe they don't owe taxes, how to get access using a routing number and a social security number," said Carl Brizzi. That's just what investigators say Lunsford did. He could face up to eight years on the charges
