Well, folks, it looks like former NFL defensive back Buster Skrine is in hot water once again. This time, he’s on the run from the authorities after allegedly defrauding banks.
According to reports, Skrine is accused of using false information to rake in millions of dollars from banks. It’s a shocking turn of events for someone who was once a professional athlete with a successful career.
Now, Skrine is nowhere to be found. Authorities are on the lookout for him, but he seems to have vanished into thin air. It’s a real-life game of cat and mouse, with Skrine playing the role of the elusive fugitive.
The retired cornerback — who made over $40 million in his 11-year NFL career — had been expected to see a judge in Durham Region this week … in relation to allegations he defrauded a bunch of Canadian banks with fake checks in 2023.
However, the Durham Regional Police Service said Wednesday Skrine, who had been out on bail since April 12, never showed up to the date … and a short time later, authorities say they noticed his GPS ankle bracelet had gone offline too.
Now, they say they’re looking to bring him back in … and hit him with some additional criminal charges — failing to appear and failing to comply with the release order.
As the search for Skrine continues, one thing is for sure: this story is far from over. Will he be caught and face justice for his alleged crimes, or will he remain on the run indefinitely? Only time will tell.
