A Franklin man is facing charges for transferring more than $1,000 out of his grandmother’s account over the course of several months.
Sugarcreek police said in a criminal complaint that between Nov. 28 and Jan. 8, Joshua Sharrar, 19, transferred funds from his grandmother’s bank account without her permission more than 50 times.
Sharrar’s grandmother told police she had spoken to him about it and asked him to return the money, the complaint said. She took back some of the money on two occasions, but Sharrar took it back again a short time later, according to the complaint.
Sharrar has been charged with felony counts of access device is unauthorized by issuer, identity theft and criminal use of a communication facility as well as a misdemeanor count of theft by unlawful taking-immovable property.
He was arraigned Wednesday, and his preliminary hearing is scheduled Feb. 24 in Venango County Central Court.
