Gentry’s arrest Thursday, along with two arrests last year, stem from business practices associated with his law firm in the 5400 block of Summerville Road in Phenix City, said Lee County Sheriff’s Office Chief Investigator Capt. Van Jackson. Because the investigation is ongoing, Jackson would not elaborate on specifics about the cases. However, he said Gentry’s legal practice is no longer in operation.
On Sept. 21, 2011, Gentry was arrested on a pair of grand jury indictment warrants charging him with unlawful possession of a forged instrument and criminal simulation. Gentry was arrested again on Nov. 3 and charged with first-degree theft of property by deception.
After posting $23,000 bail, Gentry was released Thursday.
Anyone with information about these cases is asked to contact Lee County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-522-7847.
