Charging documents say that two checks signed by Nyman returned for non-sufficient funds.

A complaint was filed with the Logan City Police on November 5 when a representative from Goldenwest Credit Union provided documents regarding the two checks which were to be used as payment on two separate credit cards at USU Credit Union, a division of Goldenwest Credit Union.

One of the credit cards belonged to Nyman, while the other bears his father’s name. The checks, however, were written under the same account, “Nyman Holdings LCC” on a Mountain America Credit Union account. The checks bore the amount of $7,000 issued on October 30.

On November 1, charges were made on the cards with $4,500 charged on Nyman’s card, and $6,500 charged to his father’s card under name Kent Nyman. Those cards did not have sufficient funds.

When contacted, Nyman insisted there were funds on the said accounts, only that they were “on hold” and would only be available on November 6. But time passed, and still, there were no funds that became available for the payments due.

Nyman, owner of Nyman Funeral Home, was previously charged for messaging a minor on the dating app Grindr on March 20 this year. Grindr is, of course, known for being an app used for sexual encounters. Investigators said that Nyman was at that time aware of the minor’s age and also knew his identity but still went ahead with his sexually malicious intentions.

Nyman also sent the teen sexually explicit photos of himself, as well as a video of a man and a woman engaging in sexual intercourse to him.

The teen agreed to meet with Nyman but thankfully was able to escape when he felt uncomfortable in Nyman’s presence before the funeral home owner could do anything sexual to him.

Nyman’s wife played a crucial role in exposing him when she discovered photos of the teen on his iPad. She turned them over as evidence to the authorities. The investigators also found screenshots of five other males; some estimated to be as young as 15.
