Fugitive arrested in Baytown linked to past cemetery fraud
U S Marshals captured Larry Deftenbaugh or his alias Mike Meyers in Baytown on February 17 after a tip from America's Most Wanted. Deffenbaugh, a former funeral home and cemetery owner, fled in 2009 over a multimillion dollar cemetery fraud involving deceased relatives. He had a Mary land probation violation and owed money to an ex wife and child support. Meyers ran a Baytown sign business and did work for the police department including banners for recruitment. The report notes the Baytown police connection in the fugitive tale.
