A former NFL player, Darryl “Buster” Skrine, has been arrested on 18 charges after being accused of bilking women he met on dating apps.
According to Fox 5 Atlanta, the 36-year-old man was arrested Aug. 27 and faces multiple charges, including deposit account fraud, identity fraud, financial transaction card fraud, theft by taking, and criminal attempt to commit theft. Police officials have described his crimes as an extensive financial fraud scheme involving multiple women in several states.
Police stated that they started an investigation on Skrine after receiving a complaint from a woman in July who accused him of financially exploiting her. They discovered that he may have been targeting women through online dating platforms. He would allegedly tell them fictional tales about him being in financial trouble and offering to repay the money using his NFL annuity. However, instead of using the money to pay bills, he used it to fund a lifestyle of luxury, including Airbnb rentals, travel, and gift cards.
