Good morning, Roswell.

Former NFL player Darryl Skrine was arrested in Roswell on Wednesday for allegedly stealing $300,000 from three women he met on dating apps—he reportedly used the funds for travel and short-term rentals instead of repaying them as promised through his NFL annuity and is also wanted in Canada for bank fraud.
