U.S. Attorney John M. Bales announced that a 27-year-old Morganton, North Carolina man has plead guilty to involvement in an oil and gas scheme in the Eastern District of Texas. Justin Spearman pled to wire fraud before U.S. Magistrate Judge Christine A. Nowak.
According to information presented in court, Mr. Spearman devised and executed a strategy to defraud another individual by filing fraudulent Assignments of Overriding Royalty Interest (ORI) in Greeley Colorado. He attempted to do so in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The ORI actually belonged to other individuals, including the owner of a royalty’s company located in Collin County, Texas. Mr. Spearman was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 15, 2015. We would not be surprised if he pleads guilty pursuant to a plea agreement.
