COURTS

A Maryland man pleaded guilty this week to stealing $142,000 from the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington in a check scam.

Eric S. Curry, 28, of Capitol Heights worked as an accounting clerk for the YMCA and stole 33 blank YMCA checks over four months that ended in January 2008. He forged a YMCA official's signature on the checks and issued them to 14 people, who deposited the checks and split the proceeds with him, federal prosecutors said.

Curry pleaded guilty Monday in the District's federal court to conspiring to commit bank fraud. Under federal guidelines, he faces almost three years in prison at his sentencing Dec. 10.
