Police are looking for a Charleston man accused of forging more than $6,000 in checks from Fairness West Virginia.
Travis Crum, 27, of Kanawha Avenue is wanted on a single count of embezzlement, a felony, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
Crum is a former Charleston Gazette reporter.
Charleston police say Crum in April allegedly wrote several checks from his then-employer, Fairness West Virginia, to himself. He also is accused of forging his supervisor's name on the checks, according to the complaint.
Crum then cashed the checks, which totaled $6,059.02, police said in the complaint. The checks were not authorized by Fairness West Virginia.
Fairness West Virginia is a nonprofit civil rights advocacy group dedicated to fair treatment of LGBT West Virginians.
