Area Banks Participated in Farm Fraud Court Rules
By Zach Parker, The Franklin Sun
Three banks in the area took large sums of money from Delhi farmer Thomas “Tommy” Dickerson and issued cashier's checks or deposited the money in other accounts, wrongfully converting money that belonged to a local agribusiness lender, an appeal court ruled recently. The three banks were Franklin State Bank and Trust Company of Winnsboro, Caldwell Bank and Trust Company of Columbia, and Commercial Capital Bank of Delhi.
