Former police official jailed in fraud case
DETROIT AP A former Detroit police deputy chief Kenneth Weiner was jailed before his next court appearance on a federal fraud charge tied to a $20 million investor scheme. He was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with charge cards, a passport and cash. Court testimony said $1.3 million moved to dummy California firms. The case links to a larger secret service fund abuse and a pyramid gold and silver scheme with $5 to $10 million missing. Weiner faces up to five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
