Police: Katy man nets $34,000 in phony 100 Club drop box scam 03:20 PM CDT on Saturday, August 1, 2009 By Jeff McShan / 11 News BAYTOWN, Texas--From Katy to Galveston and dozens of places in between, you'll find at least 40 drop boxes where you can donate clothing. Signs at the boxes indicate the clothing will benefit The 100 Club, a non-profit organization that helps families of police officers and firefighters who've lost their lives in the line of duty. Recently, many people felt the urge to donate to the boxes after the deaths of Chambers County Deputy Shane Detwiler and HPD Office Henry Canales. But the problem is, The 100 Club has nothing to do with the boxes, even though they have been out there for several months. Baytown police say not a single dime has gone to The 100 Club from donations made to the boxes. "It's been an emotional time for our citizens, thinking that they are donating to The 100 Club, only to find out they have been tricked and actually going into this man's pockets," Det. Alan Cliburn of the Baytown Police Department said. Baytown police say the man they're seeking is Leonicio Lopez, a 38-year-old Katy resident who's been charged with deceptive business practices. "Basically, what we've been able to determine is that he is selling them. There is a company in Houston that purchases used clothing at six cents a pound. And you can do the math. In a nine-month period, someone making $34,000 - that's a lot of clothing," Cliburn said. Baytown police set up surveillance on some of the boxes and saw Lopez's brother, Jose, picking up the donated items. But they learned that Jose was just a hired driver - and an illegal immigrant. Their main suspect has been harder to find. "We made contact with (Leonicio Lopez's) family at his residence, but he hasn't been there," Cliburn said. Police believe Lopez is still in the area, because since their investigation began, someone has been painting over The 100 Club logos on the boxes.
