Overview

• Roswell police arrested Skrine on Aug. 27 and booked him on 18 counts, including deposit account fraud, identity fraud, financial transaction card fraud, theft by taking, and criminal attempt to commit theft.
• Investigators say three women in New York, North Carolina, and Wisconsin lost about $300,000, with funds allegedly used for travel, short‑term rentals, and gift cards.
• Police say the Georgia investigation began in July after a tip from a woman led detectives to a broader pattern, and they believe additional victims may come forward.
• Skrine had been wanted in Canada after a 2023 arrest in an alleged check‑fraud case exceeding $100,000; he was released on bail with GPS monitoring in April 2024, then failed to appear, removed the device, and left the country.
• Roswell authorities say they are coordinating with Canadian counterparts to ensure Skrine faces charges in both jurisdictions, with the Georgia probe continuing.
