****OT***** Suspect in $17M heist pleads poverty CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A man accused of stealing $17 million in one of the biggest armored car heists in U.S. history told a judge Tuesday he is penniless and unable to hire his own lawyer. ''Are you telling this court you have no cash at no place under your control?'' U.S. Magistrate Carl Horn asked David Scott Ghantt. ''Yes, sir,'' Ghantt replied. The 28-year-old former armored car driver was captured Sunday near the Mexican island resort of Cozumel and brought back to Charlotte to face charges in the theft of a van last fall from a Loomis, Fargo and Co. warehouse. About $14 million is still missing. Federal agents said they are trying to locate the money in North Carolina. ''We're searching safety deposit boxes today,'' said FBI spokesman Bob Wanamaker. Seven other people from North Carolina - including another former Loomis employee - were arrested as accomplices. All eight were jailed without bail pending a hearing Thursday. The magistrate agreed to their requests for court-appointed attorneys. According to court papers, an informant tipped off authorities to the sudden wealth displayed by two of the alleged accomplices. Within about three weeks of the heist, one went from a mobile home to a $635,000 house, and his wife got breast implants and bought a BMW sports car for cash. Two of the alleged accomplices were plotting to kill Ghantt while pretending to bring him more cash in Mexico, investigators said. By The Associated Press
