Former NFL defensive back Buster Skrine was arrested Wednesday in Canada after allegedly defrauding banks across the country of more than $100,000, according to TMZ Sports.
As part of the scheme, the 34-year-old allegedly went into "numerous financial institutions" in the Durham Region—located in the province of Ontario—and identified himself as a former NFL player before proceeding to open bank accounts with fraudulent checks.
Skrine allegedly obtained a portion of the money from those checks illegally before they cleared, according to TMZ Sports. Police said they have "reason to believe" he "pulled similar scams all across Canada," TMZ Sports added.
