A Franklinton man faces federal prosecution for making bank withdrawals the government regards as suspicious, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Jerry Cox, 72, was charged in a bill of information Thursday (Aug. 6) for "structuring financial transactions to avoid federal reporting requirements," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Orleans. The amounts were "part of a pattern of illegal activity involving more than $100,000 in a 12-month period," the bill of information against Cox reads. The withdrawals took place in 2011.
No alleged criminal purpose for the withdrawals is mentioned in the news release sent out by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Prosecutors also declined to characterize how they believe Cox got the money or for what purpose he withdrew it.
