A Cheyenne man has been convicted of posing as a licensed car dealer when buying more than $300,000 worth of vehicles in Nebraska. The Lincoln Journal Star reports that 51-year-old Thomas Merchant was convicted earlier this week of the unlawful purchase or sale of a vehicle. Prosecutors say Merchant used a forged dealer's license when he bought 19 vehicles from the Nebraska Auto Auction last June. Merchant could be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison on Feb. 23 because the state is alleging he's a habitual criminal.
