A Georgia man accused of stealing money from a local business, then fleeing out of state, is back in Caddo Parish -- this time, behind bars. The Caddo Sheriff's Office says 49-year-old William Franklin Hill of Atlanta, Georgia, is accused in a check fraud scheme to buy more than $37,000 in gold from Louisiana Gold and Jewelry. He then sold the gold for cash and gambled with the money at local casinos.
