Dee Dee Gunther of the Roseville Police Department said Francis Amiteye Ngissah, 24, was arrested at his home following a month-long investigation into suspected acts of fraud and forgery.

According to Gunther, Ngissah was arrested on suspicion of, "buying furniture for his home last Fall by fraudulent means and defrauding a local business of approximately $8,000."

Ngissah was booked into the Roseville City Jail on suspicion of obtaining credit by fraudulent means, forgery, and other related charges.

He was released on a $35,000 bail bond.

Ngissah was arrested early in January after foreign students in his college preparatory basketball academy claimed he attached clothes pins to their nipples, restrained them with zip-ties and forced them to stand in a corner for hours on end.
