Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Stewartville man has been ordered to pay nearly $11,000 in restitution in a significant Rochester fraud case.

Twenty-two-year-old David Lloyd Black was charged a year ago with felony theft by swindle and a felony count of issuing a dishonored check. The criminal complaint alleged that he stole funds from a Rochester credit union by depositing checks from an account with insufficient funds.

The court document stated that Black would then withdraw the money before the credit union realized the checks were from an overdrawn account. He was accused of conducting the fraud scheme in February and March of last year, and then using a friend's account to do the same thing last July.
