Arkansas man stole identities from sex offender registry to fund gambling

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - An Arkansas man is facing felony charges after allegedly using a sex offender registry to scam about $20,000 from credit cards and tax refunds in the name of registered sex offenders.

Matthew Buescher, 35, was arrested Wednesday after a traffic stop by a Benton County Sheriff's deputy who found file folders containing financial information on several people. Deputy Doug Gay said Buescher apparently targeted Indiana sex offenders because their information was easy to obtain from the Internet, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
