ROSWELL, GA — Roswell police have arrested a former NFL player for financial fraud.

Darryl “Buster” Skrine was arrested Wednesday morning at a home on Pine Grove Road in Roswell.

Investigators say Skrine would use dating sites to target women. He would establish a relationship with the women telling them fictitious stories about his financial situation and ask for money.

He would promise to pay them back, but he never did.

Officer Tim Lupo with the Roswell Police Department says Skrine would used the money to finance his lavish lifestyle.

Lupo says detectives have identified three victims so far in Wisconsin, North Carolina, and New York, with a combined financial loss of approximately $300,000.

He also wanted in Canada for similar crimes and it’s believed there may be more victims.
