Ava man accused of buying land with fraudulent deed

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Mo. -- A grand jury in Douglas County has indicted an Ava man on felony charges after he allegedly acquired land using a fraudulent deed.

Online court records show 76-year-old Harry Gray was indicted in August, and has been charged with felony theft over $25,000, forgery and a misdemeanor charge of making a false affidavit.

Documents filed in court show that in October 2016, Gray "...appropriated property in Douglas County, the value of which is twenty-five thousand dollars or more, by deceit." The documents further state that Gray forged a warranty deed, and had the document notarized, knowing it was fraudulent.

A Facebook post from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) shows that Gray's indictment came after a year-long investigation.
