Alleged Newport Beach Art Thief Nabbed in Dallas

Michael Jon Schofield is a California painter who was trying to scare up some cash to make a cable TV show about art. He used a Pablo Picasso sketch as a collateral for a personal loan. But, if I’m reading the story right, the sketch was a fake and his payback went sour. The more interesting tidbits (i.e. how the fake sketch was discovered to be fake, how Schofield ended up in Dallas, how the cops caught him, what the cable TV show about art was going to be called) are still tiny mysteries.
