Headaches caused by shared name
The announcement of embezzlement and forgery charges faced by a Linden man has caused problems for his family members who share part of his name.
Let’s not confuse Larry Michael Carr, 68 or his adopted son Michael Anthony Carr, 32 or his other son Michael Wayne Carr, 44.
Michael Wayne Carr is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 8 on 12 felony charges: five counts of grand theft, three counts of forgery, two counts of obtaining money by false pretenses and one count each of embezzlement and falsifying corporate books.
According to the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office, Carr took more than $1 million from several people to buy steer in Mexico and sell them in the United States.
This story was published in The Record and Recordnet.com on Tuesday and quickly grew legs because Kiefer Sutherland, best known as Jack Bauer on the TV series “24” has been named as one of the victims. Sutherland reportedly lost $869,000.
However, locally the response has been directed at Larry Michael Carr, who is known as Mike, and Michael Anthony Carr whose wife is a teacher in Linden Unified School District and whose children attend school in the district.
People just see the name Michael Anthony Carr and assume it’s either Larry Michael Carr who are both live on a ranch on Fine Road in Linden, Larry Michael Carr said.
“It’s been hell,” he said, adding that Michael Wayne is estranged from the family and they do not know his whereabouts.
