Last week, undercover officers busted Stringer when they delivered two frozen desserts worth $130 Stringer ordered from Chicago.
"Follow up investigation revealed that what this dirtball was doing was using obituaries -- names from obituaries -- to counterfeit checks and order merchandise throughout the country," explained HPD Sgt. Christopher Lohse. "He would order the checks in the name of the deceased person."
Police say the name Stringer used for the delivery of the desserts belonged to a US army captain killed in action in Iraq.
