A LaFollette man pled guilty in federal court today to charges related to a check fraud scheme involving a $1.8 million check drawn on a Canadian company's account. John Dale Henegar, 42, is scheduled for sentencing June 10 in U.S. District Judge Thomas Varlan's court and could receive up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Henegar was indicted by a federal grand jury in July for defrauding Home Federal Bank in Jacksboro, Tenn. According to court documents, he admitted that in February 2005 he presented a check for deposit and withdrawal in the amount of $1,843,322.39, payable to "JOHNSGIFTS" of LaFollette and drawn on a Bank of Montreal account for Agilysys Canada, Inc.
