Sundance man sentenced for fraud

Sundance man Robert Glenn has received a suspended sentence for a felony fraud charge after allegedly writing a total of ten bad checks to businesses and entities within the City of Sundance.

Sundance Police Department reports that it was alerted in December, 2019 to three bad checks written to entities within city limits; one to the VFW for sewer work in the amount of $2000, one to the City of Sundance for $156.67; and one to a local business for $236.62. All three checks were allegedly made out by Robert Glenn.

A Sundance officer then learned of a couple more bad checks totaling $461.68 that were both written to a second local business. Five-day notices of dishonor and investigation letters were sent to Glenn.

The officer checked with all victim entities on December 20 and 26 and reports that none had heard from the suspect by the second date.

Glenn pled no contest to a felony charge of fraud by check in an amount greater than $1000. Judge Thomas W. Rumpke sentenced him to between two and four years of incarceration, suspended pending successful completion of three years of supervised probation.

He was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $3196.16 to the city, VFW and two local businesses.
