Melvin hank According to testimony given by Glenn McWilliams of Abilene Interfirst senior vice-president Shaid's girlfriend Lynn Carruth Maree put up 56207 shares of Ranchlander Bank stock to cover the $190000 loan During the trial the prosecutor charged that Shaid had bought the Ranchlander bank in Ms Mane's name from Brady businessman Doyle Todd Todd now a McCulloch County grain merchant and president of Texas Western Grain Co testified he sold the bank to Ms Maree around the beginning of June 199L He said Shaid had told Urn he was Ms financial advisor After Todd signed a purchase agreement in June 1991 with Shaidand Maree the Shaid-Maree group including Roger Pipkin as president snd Jean Moon vice president took over the bank However Todd said he did not get paid for Ms 70 percent of the bank's shares until September first thing they did was change the locks on all the doors to the bank and the Ranchlander Todd testified was locked out" Todd said the first time he was allowed in the bank after signing the purchase agreement was on Sept 4 1991 when he was given three checks in payment for his bank interest According to testimony from former president Jean Moon Shaid typed Ms own certificates of deposit and used two the bogus $100000 CDs as collateral to borrow the necessary money to buy interest in the bank charge Shaid had received the alleged fraudulent $200000 loan and had full control of the money from the Chandler State Bank before documents relating to the loan went into the A maiL In addition Booth charged that the government was wrong in charring Shaid with two counts of bank robbery when Shaid did not use force threats or a weapon in getting money from the two East Texas banks Booth also argued that a package of documents containing false statements concerning ooe deal should constitute only one charge rather than a separate eount for each individual document included in the package During the previous II months Shaid is said to have defrauded four Texas banks of more than $775000 of which more than $311000 came from the Interfirst Bank of Abilene (formerly the National Bank) He also is accused of defrauding the Charter Bank
