22 charged on allegations of fraudulent loan scheme at credit union that netted $244,000

Twenty-two people were charged Friday on allegations that a member of a Tulsa credit union provided fraudulent documents to the individuals, allowing them to obtain loans totaling more than $244,000.

One man, Barry Paul Wright, is listed as a co-defendant with each of the 21 other people. All were charged in Tulsa County District Court with at least one count of obtaining property under false pretenses.

Wright, 41, is referred to in some records as Paul Barry Wright.

According to court documents, an investigator at Tinker Federal Credit Union contacted police about several people who allegedly applied for vehicle loans using fraudulent information between April and September 2016.

Wright applied for a vehicle loan in April 2016 and received a loan of more than $20,000 for a Mercedes Benz, according to investigators, who said they later learned he had used false information.
