LISLE, Ill. A fugitive from Florida who tried to open a multimillion-dollar bank account in Lisle has been arrested on numerous charges, including impersonation of a U.S. marshal.
John C. Campbell, 29, remained Thursday in the DuPage County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bail, authorities said.
Lisle police arrested Campbell on Monday, shortly after he tried to open an account and deposit a check for $3.5 million at a U.S. Bank branch at 1026 Ogden Ave. Both the check and the identity Campbell provided were phony, police said.
Police then searched the room where Campbell was staying at a Downers Grove hotel and found a counterfeit U.S. marshal’s badge, two starter pistols “and a variety of other law enforcement equipment props,” police said.
