June 18, 1986 Larry was arrested in Miami Beach Florida and on June 19, 1986 the State Attorney filed an initial charging statement accusing Larry of Ten (10) counts of Forgery, Ten (10) Counts of Grand Theft, and One (1) Count of Stolen Property. Now at first sight of that you will most likely go “WTF,” which is exactly what Larry did when he was first made aware of it in 1986. The charging State Attorney thought by alleging so many counts & criminal acts it was going to somehow result in them being rewarded or that it was going to cause Larry to do something he had never done in his life, which is admit or plead guilty to something he DID NOT do. The case F86017266 In the 11th Circuit Court of the State of Florida, Miami Dade County Filed June 19, 1986 Closed August 13, 1986 was brought after Larry had indeed gone into J C Penny department store in Miami beach Florida on two occasions where he presented checks in the amount of $1350.00 and $980.00 to JC Penny as payments to be applied to Larry’s JC Penny credit account number 61147980411. The checks did not belong to Larry and while Larry did forge one the two checks, he admitted to having signed both (out of concern for the individual who had provided the other check being 8 months pregnant). There had been individuals who had returned to JC Penny without Larry’s knowledge or presence who had attempted to make payments towards Larry’s Penny charge account using forged checks. At the time of Larry’s arrest on June 18, 1986 for the one and only time in his life he was under the influence of an extended period of snorting cocaine with Miami distributors Larry had become friends with even working with one over night operating a street sweeper that was under contract services as cover for overnight operations. After Larry’s arrest and being advised of the charges filed against him, for the first time in his life he sought the services of legal counsel. Not to try and get out of his actions but because it was necessary to obtain discovery from the State Attorney as to what they were basing their charging of Larry with some 21 felony criminal counts which Larry knew to be BS. After obtaining discovery and realizing that the State Attorney was attempting to charge Larry with multiple counts based on alleged, attempts supposedly made by unnamed individuals over an alleged period of time, to present to JC Penny among other department stores Larry had credit cards from stolen forged checks to be applied toward Larry’s account. It suddenly became clear to Larry that admitting to his actions and owning them were not going to be as cut and dry, because this prosecutor had been convinced Larry was somehow responsible for alleged, attempted, actions of unnamed persons, committed at unidentified locations on unidentified dates at unidentified times. Larry instructed his counsel from the very beginning to notify the State Attorney he was ready to plead guilty to his actions without any requests of any conditions, deals, reduction in charges or anything else, but that he would not under any circumstances plead guilty to crimes he had not committed. The State Attorney was not impressed nor interested at first which resulted in the case having to have Preliminary Hearings, required depositions to be scheduled and taken that were completely unnecessary & a waste of money & courts time, hearings continued that would not have had to even been held if it were not for an over zealous prosecutor seeking to charge Larry for “alleged” “attempted” crimes merely “suspected” to have been committed. Finally after wasting time, money and causing private citizens to have to change their schedules for no reason at all the State Attorney had informed Larry’s counsel they were prepared to accept his pleading guilty to his 2 counts of forgery and 2 counts of grand theft (even though Larry had challenged the claim that by applying a credit to his balance from forged checks constituted grand theft given Larry had not actually acquired of physical benefit or consideration as a result). Larry entered a plead of guilty to Two counts of Forgery and Two counts of Grand Theft and was sentences to One (1) Year Probation.
The below images are the Miami 1986 case Judgment showing Larry plead guilty to Two counts of Forgery and Two counts of Grant theft, which will be important in future Truth posts showing lies pushed with knowledge they were lies from the start.
While this will be addressed in detail in another post, we want to mention something here now. Below you will read about Larry’s last criminal conviction which took place in Colorado. Upon that conviction Florida authorities when notified by Colorado of Larry’s conviction & sentence imposed, informed Colorado that Florida would not continue to lodge a detainer against Larry for Probation violation and would instead terminated Larry’s Florida Probation. Despite that documented fact, and Larry’s eventual parole in Colorado with no outstanding warrants from Florida or any other jurisdiction, in 2004 it was discovered Florida Dept of Corrections Probation Dept had made an error in 1987 which suddenly 17 years later appeared in a national database as an outstanding arrest warrant for Larry for the charge of “Absconder/Probation Violation” which had been sought and obtained in January 1987 before Larry was sentenced in the Colorado case. It was Social Security Administration which notified Larry of the issue in 2004 at which time Larry contacted the Miami Dade Public Defenders Office as did the Miami Court after Larry filed a motion noticing the Court of the error and seeking the warrant to be quashed and Probation terminated as Florida informed Colorado officials in 1987 they were doing. The warrant was quashed, and the Court did enter an order terminating the Probation by Court order upon the Court finding Florida officials had in fact advised Colorado that was their intent.
