St. Louis Co. man goes to prison for bouncing checks totaling $400K

A man who bounced $400,000 worth of counterfeit checks in four states has been sentenced to almost seven years in prison. St. Louis County resident Dante Sumlar hired people to cash the checks and split the money with them. His scheme was so big that he made the Secret Service’s “most wanted” list and was profiled on television’s “America’s Most Wanted.” He’d been living under an assumed name.
