Teams of detectives were set up to catch the suspect, but he failed to appear for the money transaction. The suspect was then identified as Richard A. Minsky. Airport police officers responded to the location and identified the alleged perpetrator. The suspect provided fraudulent identification, but eventually admitted he was Richard A. Minsky. Minsky was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail on numerous warrants, including sexual assault, from various jurisdictions throughout the United States.
Additional charges are pending and detectives continue to investigate.
