In September of 2007 law enforcement officers searched the home of 33-year-old Larry Armon DeBlanc, Jr., where they discovered a computer containing numerous images of checks, payroll stubs, drivers' licenses with photos, currency images and cut and paste images of signatures, company names and addresses, all commonly used in the production of counterfeit checks and documents, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas.
