Overview
- Douglas Meyer, 37, faces an organized scheme to defraud charge over an alleged pattern of writing bad checks across multiple credit unions.
- Investigators say he exploited check-clearing delays and, in one incident captured on surveillance, wore his uniform to press staff to release a hold.
- He turned himself in on Nov. 2 and was released the same day after posting bond, which WESH reported as $7,500.
- Court records cited in coverage report more than $6,000 siphoned with Space Coast Credit Union taking just over $5,000 in losses, while detectives told FOX 35 he obtained about $5,000 and aimed for $50,000.
- A September fraud report from a credit union prompted the investigation; Meyer had resigned in August after serving from 2020–2024 and briefly in 2025, and the sheriff says his badge will be melted.
