LAGRANGE â A Howe man on Monday was arrested and charged with money laundering, a Level 6 felony, for allegedly extorting a large sum of cash from a local Amish man.
Roberto Alvez, 40, of the 4800 block of S.R. 9 North, Howe, was arrested and taken into custody by the LaGrange County Sheriffâs Department.
Documents filed with the LaGrange Superior Court said, Alvez is accused of sending a threatening letter in July 2020 to a local Amish man he was familiar with. In that letter, Alvez allegedly said he would kill the Amish man unless he sent Alvez a check for $7,500. Alvez is said to have instructed the man to mail the check to his address along with a letter saying the money was a gift.
