Wis. Woman's Fiance Skips Wedding, Takes Her Ring

ELLSWORTH, Wis. (AP) ― Pierce County authorities are seeking a man accused of stealing an engagement ring, laptop computer, credit cards and money from a woman he said he would marry on New Year's Eve, only to fly to Hawaii at her expense and marry someone else.

A criminal complaint filed Wednesday accuses 40-year-old Raymond Jackson of theft and fraudulent use of a credit card.

The 39-year-old Town of Diamond Bluff woman told police she met him in September and he later moved in with her. After he left just before Christmas, saying he had a job interview in South Dakota, she noticed things missing and learned her credit card paid for an $800 one-way ticket to Hawaii, as well as other expenses there.

The victim had an estimated $7,600 taken.
