U.S. Marshals track man down in Southern Utah By Nur Kausar nkausar@thespectrum.com May 31, 2011 m.thespectrum.com ST. GEORGE - A Georgia man trying to thwart a significant prison sentence will go before a federal judge in Utah Wednesday, following his arrest by the Joint Criminal Apprehension Team Saturday night in Bloomington. Rufus Paul Harris, former CEO of Conversion Solutions Holdings Corporation, fled Atlanta on May 23, before the end of his two-week trial that found him guilty of securities fraud, wire fraud, falsifying financial statements and conspiracy. Michael Wingert, supervisory deputy U.S. Marshal for Utah, said law enforcement followed the 43-year-old Harris using a trail he "unintentionally left." Wingert said Harris had some former business associates in Southern Utah, and was arrested at one of their homes, where JCAT officers found him hiding in a closet. JCAT in Southern Utah included officers from Washington County, Iron County, St. George Police, Adult Probation and Parole and the Marshals Service. From his investigation, Wingert said there is no connection to Harris' fraud case to Utah, and the crimes were committed in Georgia where he was convicted. Harris is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 18 in Atlanta for his eight convictions, and could receive a maximum consecutive or concurrent sentence of 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 each for charges of securities fraud and conspiracy, and 20 years and a fine of up to $250,000 for each count of the wire fraud. For the false certification of a financial statement conviction, he could receive a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million. Wingert said extrication back to Georgia would be determined after Wednesday's appearance. m.thespectrum.com
