CLEVELAND (AP) — A recently captured fugitive suspected of running a scam that collected millions in donations for U.S. Navy veterans has pleaded not guilty to state charges in Ohio.
The man calls himself Bobby Thompson, but authorities don’t believe that’s his name and have been unable to identify him.
A judge in Cleveland refused to set bond for him, meaning he’ll stay in jail. The judge says she’s not satisfied he would appear in court if he’s released.
The man was arrested last week in Portland, Ore., by U.S. marshals after nearly two years as a fugitive.
