Cantonment Man Charged With Bank Fraud, Grand Theft
September 26, 2023
A Cantonment man is charged with multiple felonies after allegedly depositing a counterfeit check and subsequently making withdrawals.
Travis Marchey Butler, Jr., 21, was charged with six felonies — bank fraud, grand theft, forgery, criminal use of personally identifiable information, uttering forged instrument, and using a two-way communications device to commit a felony. He was released on a $60,000 bond.
Butler allegedly deposited a counterfeit check at Gulf Winds Credit Union in the amount of $5,802.40 by mobile deposit and later withdrew $500 from an ATM, according to an arrest report. Authorities said he also made cash withdrawals of $200 and $400 from an ATM at a Cantonment Tom Thumb.

@ bob All this wishful thinking you have spewed out is totally ridiculous !! Get in the real world not an imaginary one bob like where you currently are !!! So dumb to believe all this hypothetical garage you are talking about is even close to reality !! Now don’t get me wrong if everyone was living in a dream world like MR. know it all we would have still a messed up system of living!!! See it and know it !!! Today you learn something I hope!!!
@Sarah
No, the best place to get help is not behind bars. Just look at our country’s extremely high recidivism rate.
Do you really believe 99% of people who break the law do so just because “they’re evil people who have no motivation other than hurting good people (like me)”?
I apologize Sarah
I’m kind of a know it all but a lot of the time i have no idea what’s going on.
Bobby you seem to concentrate on the 1% and not the other 99%.
This young man needs help and the best place to find it is behind bars.
@Not again
Convenience.
It can take days (or even weeks) for a check to clear he Federal Reserve and for the funds to be transfered to the receiving bank. If your bank placed a 3 week hold on your check while you have bills to pay, causing you to get late fees? You’re probably going to close your accounts and find a new bank.
Instead, banks will often issue provisional credits on the assumption that the check is valid. If the check does turn out to be fraudulent or if the issues has insufficient funds, they can always just reverse the credit and debit the funds back out of your account.
Why would this financial institution make funds available on a pending check that has yet to clear? My bank has a five day hold titled “pending” in my online summary.
@Bill T
You’re wrong.
It is possible to make all of the right choices and still fail.
Families lose their home to natural disasters, children are born into poverty, people contract debilitating diseases that make them unable to work, workers are the victims of exploitation and theft.
Society is what we make it. If you think society should punish people for being poor, you do you, but I think that we can do better than hurting people who are already suffering
@ bob decisions are made differently by people every day!!! And we and they choose to live by the decisions we make!!! Unfortunately some choose good choices others bad choices!!! Understand why these choices are made !! Sometimes without choice!! Society owes you nothing period!!! So you can’t blame them !!! If you work hard and make all the right decisions and still fail you didn’t make the right decisions somewhere!!!!think about it
He’s a modern day Robin Hood.
@Tommy Ray Smith
We don’t live in an egalitarian society. It’s possible to work hard, apply yourself, and make all of the right decisions, and still end up on the street.
Being poor isn’t a moral failing and more than being rich is a virtue. The fact that so many hard working, intelligent people are living in poverty isn’t a personal failing. It’s a societal one.
So it’s alright to commit crimes to give to other sorry people that don’t want to work
To sorry to get a job
Everyone is rushing to judgment on this fine young man. One mistake and everyone wants him in jail. Little do you know he donates all of the proceeds to families in need, He is trying to change peoples lives and do right by the community.
@patrice … “Only God can judge” – also the jury. They can judge. It’s literally their job.
Only God can judge..
Clyde: I was thinking the same thing. Wonder if he wrote a check for his bail.
hmm 60k for bond…you guys take a check?
