Attorney charged with bogus check, failure to pay employee

TAHLEQUAH DAILY PRESS

A $1,000 bond was set Wednesday afternoon for a Tahlequah attorney charged with two misdemeanors.

Special District Judge Holli Pursley set the bond for William P. “Bill” Willis Jr., 58, after a special prosecutor filed a count of obtaining merchandise by bogus check and a count of postponement of payment due for labor.

District Attorney Eddie Wyant, of Ottawa and Delaware counties, filed the charges after being appointed by Attorney General Drew Edmondson when local District Attorney Jerry Moore disqualified his office from the prosecution.

Willis’ next court appearance is Dec. 30 before Associate District Judge Mark Dobbins.

Prosecutors allege Willis issued a check for $115 on June 28 to Able Copy Shop for $111.40 in merchandise. The second count alleges he postponed the actual payment due for labor and secretarial services performed by Lacey Plumb. That check was written for $710, and both were returned to the bank marked “insufficient funds.”

An affidavit filed with the case states Willis knew he had insufficient funds at the bank and that the checks were worthless, but still gave them to Able and Plumb.

The bogus check count is punishable by imprisonment for up to a year and/or a fine of up to $1,000. The postponement of payment due for labor count is punishable by imprisonment for up to six months and/or a fine of up to $500.
