Scrapper falsified scale tickets
An East Chicago man who sold scrap metal to a Gary firm is charged with forgery and theft.
Curtis A. Bonds, 46, allegedly altered the scale tickets he received from Summit Inc., 6901 Chicago Ave., to show he delivered more scrap.
Bonds “was paid a total of $159,756 more than he should have,” the probable cause affidavit states.
Bonds told Detective Sgt. Freddie Cook “he had spent all of the money,” and didn’t have anything else to say about the allegations.
Man stabbed outside apartment
A 27-year-old man suffered stab wounds early Tuesday as several people tried to force their way into his apartment at 1514 W. 5th Ave., department spokesperson Patrolman Laria Crews said.
Erick Manuel was treated at a hospital for stab wounds when he was attacked outside his apartment. He said he fought with the suspects who also fired gunshots during the altercation.
Two shot in separate incidents
A Gary teen and a Harvey, Ill., man were shot in separate incidents just minutes apart Sunday night, police said.
Trevion Carlisle, 15, a Brunswick resident, was walking in the 2100 block of Kentucky Street about 8:15 p.m.
An argument began and a man was pushed to the ground. When he stood up, he started shooting, striking Carlisle.
Detective Cpl. James Nielsen is investigating the shooting. Anyone with information can call him at 881-4754.
At 8:19 p.m., Timothy McCray, 26, was behind the wheel of a car at 35th Avenue and Grant Street. Two “unknown subjects” approached the car and tried to rob them, and as McCray drove away he was shot.
Detective James Bond is investigating the shooting. Anyone with information can call him at 881-4751.
Man admits having sex with teen girl
Lake Superior Court Judge Diane Ross Boswell sentenced a former Gary man to 15 years in prison for sexual misconduct with a minor.
Antonio Cantu, 37, will serve his sentence simultaneously with a federal prison term he’s serving in Kentucky for bank robbery by force of violence, according to the terms of his plea agreement that outlined the 15-year term.
Cantu admitted he had sex with a 14-year-old girl in February 2011 at a home in Gary.
Nine other felony charges, including criminal deviate conduct, rape, sexual misconduct with a minor, sexual battery and an habitual offender enhancement were dismissed.
