A former Florida deputy is charged with a check kiting scheme using processing delays across credit unions.

Douglas Meyer, a 37-year-old former Volusia County deputy, has been charged with a check kiting scheme that exploited delays in check processing across multiple credit unions. Authorities say he issued bad checks between institutions to temporarily access funds, and reportedly appeared in uniform to request early release of holds on deposits. The fraud was reported in September, leading to an investigation that resulted in Meyer’s arrest and surrender. He faces felony charges and is barred from future law enforcement work. The case is ongoing.
