TORONTO - A man facing charges for allegedly defrauding four Toronto Argonauts players and team CEO Michael (Pinball) Clemons is now facing additional fraud charges.
Walter Garrick, 37, of Oakville, Ont., faces 16 charges of theft and fraud in Toronto in relation to the Argos case, which involved several players and Clemons when he was the team's head coach.
He was charged in November by Halton Regional Police with five counts of fraud over $5,000 and one count of fraud under $5,000 for another alleged scam.
Police allege Garrick convinced people to invest with him after he told them he was an Ivy League-educated doctor who owned Google stock and the Mississauga IceDogs junior hockey team.
Toronto police have now charged Garrick with attempted fraud over $5,000 and two counts of not complying with bail conditions.
He allegedly attempted to defraud a real estate office in Greenwich, Conn., through the purchase of a house there.
