Man allegedly defrauds market of $4K
; ORLEANS —A 49-year-old West Yarmouth man pleaded not guilty Tuesday in
� Orleans District Court to larceny after he allegedly defrauded Dennis Public Market of
$4,000 by opening a false nonprofit account.
j John Jasset faces a charge of larceny of more than $250 and a charge of being a
I common and notorious thief. Bail was set at $2,000, and he was sent to the Plymouth
� County Correctional Facility, court records showed.
, Jasset had opened a wholesale account at the store, saying he was part of a
; nonprofit group called Community Works Program that assisted recentlyreleased
inmates in learning cooking skills for work, according to a report by Dennis police
Detective Matthew Turner, who was called to the market on April 3.
As part of an investigation, police determined that an IRS form Jasset had provided to
the market was falsified and that the nonprofit group was registered to the home of his
father in West Yarmouth, the report says. Jasset told Turner there was "a big
� misunderstanding" about the existence of a $2,000 check to hel
p pay off the debt, and
that he was in the hospital and would contact the police once released, the report
says.
Jasset has 181 adult arraignments dating back to 1986, with the most recent in 2014,
' and he is currently on probation in Bamstable Superior Court, according to the report.
' A pretrial hearing in the case is set for May 24.
