MONROE COUNTY, Fla. – A 33-year-old Coral Springs man is behind bars after police say he managed to drain more than $50,000 from a Cudjoe Key couple using a web of fraudulent credit lines and bank transfers.
Dwayne Leveridge now faces multiple felony charges, including fraud, larceny, the illegal use of credit cards, and the illegal use of another person’s identification.
The investigation kicked off back in April 2026 when the victims noticed suspicious activity in their bank accounts and contacted the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives quickly uncovered a trail of illegal lines of credit, fraudulent charges, and unauthorized wire transfers, all opened under the victims’ names.
Authorities noted that the exact methods Leveridge used to obtain the couple’s personal information remain under investigation.
Following the probe, detectives secured arrest warrants for Leveridge. He was initially picked up in Broward County, Florida, before being transferred and booked into the Monroe County jail on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
