Cops Pinch Former Councilman On Deed Theft Charges; Allegedly Forged & Notarized Title Conveyance To Unwitting Owners' Property
In Russell County, Alabama, the Montgomery Advertiser reports:
- Authorities say a longtime member of the Phenix City Council has turned himself in to authorities on forgery and perjury charges. WTVM-TV reported that 70-year-old Arthur Sumbry Sr. turned himself in to the Russell County Sheriff's Office Friday after being indicted by a grand jury.
- Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor said the charges stem from an incident in 2008 when Sumbry was serving as a notary public. Authorities said Sumbry forged signatures on a deed to a house that he notarized and later lied about it in court under oath. Taylor said the people whose names were forged realized they never signed the document.
