On Thursday August 6, 2009, Michael Osborn was arrested and charged with 2 counts of Grand Theft Auto, 2 counts of Intent to Defraud, and two counts of Receiving a Stolen Vehicle (click here for the court docket).
Here's the 411 on his latest scheme:
In July, Michael went to an Orange County CarMax lot and purchased two vehicles; a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW. Using his alias, Michael Osborn Ison, he was able to secure financing for the vehicles after issuing two checks, one in the amount of $15,000 and one for $5,000. Naturally, both checks bounced sky high. Sources report that my website and blog was found by "googling" Michael, and that's when CarMax realized that they were a victim. Using the cars' anti-theft devices, Michael and the vehicles were located at a San Diego address, where Michael was arrested and brought back to Orange County. Here's the kicker. Because Michael used Principal Capital Group checks, he also got charged with Receiving a Stolen Vehicle.
On Friday August 7, Michael faced an Orange County Judge and was ordered back for an arraignment on September 10. Unbelievably, he was released. Check this blog entry for further details as they become known.

Let me get this straight. Michael steals two cars, is located and arrested for a felony, and is given more than a month of freedom (or to flee) before he is arraigned?
There is something wrong with this picture!!
