SC businessman accused of $100K check fraud

ROCK HILL, S.C. — A Rock Hill businessman is accused of fraud after police said he deposited a $100,000 check that wasn't for him.

The Herald in Rock Hill reported police arrested Bernard Gaston.

Police think Gaston got a hold of the check that was stolen from the mail and altered by someone else. Gaston then deposited it, police said.

Officials don't think Gaston stole the check and altered it.
 
Channel 9 has reported on Gaston in the past.

In that case, police said Gaston cheated customers out of $500,000 by selling cars that had liens on them.
