On July 20, Warrington Police were called to County Line Fence to investigate a report of bad checks.

Officials with the company told police that on July 7 and 8, Biernacki made two purchases totaling $4,925.31 and took the merchandise with him. Five days later, on July 13, police said County Line Fence was notified by its bank that both checks had been written on a closed account.

The business contacted Biernacki and allowed him to either return the merchandise or pay the $4,925.31 owed, police said.

Despite numerous attempts by the business and police to resolve the matter, Biernacki failed to return the merchandise or make payment.

A warrant was subsequently issued for Biernacki's arrest. On August 11, he was processed and arraigned by Judge Wertman, who set bail at $50,000 unsecured.
