Man learns casino losses not deductible
SALEM, Mass., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Police in Massachusetts said they are searching for a man believed to have faked his own death to escape prosecution.
Salem police said Michael Rosen, 42, is wanted on forgery and counterfeiting charges after a man claiming to be his brother presented a false death certificate Tuesday to the Salem District Court clerk's office, The Gloucester (Mass.) Times reported Tuesday.
Investigators said Rosen was on probation for previous offenses when he was arrested in June for driving without a license after a fender bender.
However, his Salem probation officer was suspicious and contacted another probation officer supervising Rosen in Concord District Court. The other officer said Rosen checked in Monday, 4 days after the date of death on the certificate.
Rosen has several previous convictions on charges including forgery and identity fraud.
