Family, Friends Come Forward In Bail Out Attempt For Akron-Area Mortgage Fraud Suspect

In Akron, Ohio, the Akron Beacon Journal reports:

• Five family members and friends of former Evergreen Corp. President David B. Willan offered their homes and property Tuesday to back a signature bond that defense lawyers are requesting for Willan's release from the Summit County Jail. Willan, 37, is charged with multiple first-degree felonies in a 147-count Summit County indictment alleging widespread Akron-area mortgage fraud. He has been held in lieu of a $3 million bond since his Dec. 19 arrest. His lawyer, William Whitaker, said at Tuesday's hearing that Willan's business was taken over in bankruptcy court and that he no longer has any assets to finance a flight from prosecution.
