Suspect faces 2 more charges in con game case
Douglas County records show Rodney R. Maquin faced two theft by deception counts and two new felony charges for writing insufficient fund checks. Arrested in Texas, he is held on 26500 bail awaiting a preliminary hearing next Monday. Authorities say he posed as the heir to the French's mustard fortune, swindling merchants across three counties out of items including a pickup truck, stock trailers, horses, TVs, electronics and waterbeds, most of which were recovered. Maquin's wife Alice is jailed in Tennessee on related charges.
