The Rapid City Police Department confirmed this afternoon that it has opened a criminal investigation of the activities of Jason Anderson, a former minor league baseball player who arrived in Rapid City early this spring promising to organize a summer baseball clinic and a series of traveling baseball teams under the name Team South Dakota. Anderson has been accused of defrauding coaches and parents out of $40,000.
Inside Dakota Sports also confirmed that Anderson has warrants for his arrest in Panama City, Florida and Monroe, Michigan relating to charges of fraud and forgery.
