Red Lake Falls Man Charged in Account Theft<\/h2>\n
THIEF RIVER FALLS<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Red Lake Falls man faces a theft-by-swindle charge.<\/p>\n

Korbyn Charles Dale, 29, was charged after two disputed business account purchases were reported to police.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint was filed on June 26. It describes purchases totaling $579.76 at two Thief River Falls stores.<\/p>\n

First Purchase Raises Concerns<\/h2>\n

Police received the first report on March 19 from Brodin Comfort Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company said someone allegedly used its account at L&M Fleet Supply<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The purchase happened five days earlier. It involved a tool valued at $345.71.<\/p>\n

A company manager noticed the tool\u2019s brand and questioned the listed approval.<\/p>\n

The employee named as the approving person was out of town that day.<\/p>\n

The manager later obtained a store surveillance image. He identified the person as Dale, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Dale had worked for Brodin about two years earlier. He had trained under the employee listed as approving the purchase.<\/p>\n

Second Purchase Reported<\/h2>\n

Police received another report from Brodin Comfort Systems on April 6.<\/p>\n

The company said Dale allegedly used its account at Ace Hardware<\/a> on March 14.<\/p>\n

That purchase totaled $234.05. The complaint states that surveillance footage showed Dale completing the transaction.<\/p>\n

Authorities allege both purchases were made without permission from Brodin Comfort Systems.<\/p>\n

The complaint does not state that either store knowingly took part in wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Complaint Lists Earlier Convictions<\/h2>\n

The complaint also lists earlier theft convictions involving Dale.<\/p>\n

It states he was convicted of two gross misdemeanor theft offenses in Itasca County on June 1.<\/p>\n

The document also cites gross misdemeanor theft convictions in Ramsey County and Pennington County.<\/p>\n

Those convictions were entered in May 2016 and September 2016, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Readers can search public case information through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The current theft-by-swindle charge is an allegation. Dale is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

No court outcome was included in the information provided for this report.<\/p>\n
