Kenneth Martinez-Ortiz has been on the run since May. Investigators said he skipped court in Collier County on grand theft charges. His last known address was in East Naples, but he also has connections in Orlando and may have headed there to avoid jail time.

Kwame Richardson‘s case is enough to make you check your credit report. The 29-year-old is wanted in Lee County for failing to appear in court. His arrest report claimed he obtained credit card and ID information for several people using the dark web and then went on a spending spree in Downtown Fort Myers’ bars and restaurants last year. He reportedly spent between $2,500 and $18,000 a night using the fraudulent information. When police arrested him, they found the personal information of 66 people.
