Brian Dalyrimple, of '90s R&B group Soul For Real has been indicted in Georgia on 145 counts of aggravated identity fraud, according to reports. Dalyrimple, who has been running from Duluth police since February, also faces related charges from forgery to aggravated bank fraud, after being apprehended in North Carolina with his infant son, who has been missing for well over a month.
Brothers Jason and Andre Dalyrimple, both former members of the R&B group, will be indicted for their role in the identity theft case, though police have yet to specify their exact charges. No word as to the involvement of the fourth member of the group, Christopher Dalyrimple.
The police became aware of the Dalyrimple brothers' criminal activity when a $12,000 fraudulent charge was traced by a California victim, to Duluth. The victim notified Duluth police that false checking and credit accounts had been set up at a Georgia bank, which they then traced back to two addresses in a local apartment complex, both rented by Brian Dalyrimple, using two false names.
When the police searched the apartments they turned up a variety of fake driver's licenses, said Major Woordruff, a Duluth police officer. They also found a "multitude of fraudulently obtained credit cards, documents for bank loans, checking and savings accounts in fraudulent names, account and routing numbers belonging to legitimate accounts and documents containing identifying information of many individuals."
According to police, Brian Dalyrimple was leasing at least four other apartments, all under different aliases. Laborah Crawford, the mother of Brian's infant child, was arrested immediately following the search, and is being held in Gwinnett County Jail, on similar charges.
It is estimated that the Dalyrimples struck over 260 victims and at least 8 banks, for as much as $1,000,000.
Soul For Real, for real?

Never even heard of them. That must be why they did this. They didn't make any money in the 90's.

Another one hit wonder get a taste of the rich and famous lifestyle and want to keep it up by criminal activities instead of education and hard work. Shame. Went to see James Debrage of the Debrages-(three album hit wonder and discovery of Jermaine Jackson) the other week and I cried to see him like that. Singing good, but cracked out and unkempt. Sad to see such talented people go to waste.

The brothers were produced by Heavy D and their song was "CandyRain". Sadly enough they were one hit wonders which explains why they wanted to continue to lead "the glamorous life".
