Detroit Man Accused Of Using Forged Title Documents In Attempt To Steal Church

In Detroit, Michigan, the Detroit Free Press reports:
  • Forget going to jail for deed fraud, what Tracy Carmichael is accused of doing could lead to an unpleasant afterlife. Carmichael, 46, of Detroit was charged Friday with trying to sell a Detroit church building that he never owned.

  • Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Carmichael used a scheme to obtain a $120,000 mortgage on the Temple of God Deliverance building in the 11000 block of Mt. Elliott. He tried to sell the property to a woman as an investment property, falsifying documents to obtain a mortgage, Worthy said. The building has been razed. Carmichael did not have authority to sell the property and forged signatures of the owner on fake title documents, Worthy said. [...] The case was investigated by the Wayne County Deed Fraud Task Force, which includes the Sheriff's Department and register of deeds.
