AKRON, Ohio — A Texas parolee now linked to a deadly Craigslist robbery scheme was released on bond from an Ohio jail after Texas officials said they would extradite him only after he was convicted on a drug charge, according to court records and a sheriff’s office.
Richard Beasley, released in July on a judge’s order to await trial, is linked to an autumn plot in which, authorities say, someone tried to lure robbery victims by posting a bogus ad touting a cattle farm job in southeast Ohio. Authorities have connected two bodies and the shooting of a man who survived to the scheme.
