Ex-lawyer from Coralville, on most-wanted list, captured in Colorado

April 23, 2015 By Matt Kelley

HandcuffsAn eastern Iowa man who was on the FBI’s list of most-wanted white-collar criminals is back behind bars.

Federal agents in Colorado arrested 50-year-old Dennis Bjorkland a few days ago, according to just-released documents.

Bjorkland was a lawyer in Coralville before he was indicted by a grand jury in 2010 on a list of more than a dozen federal charges, including for mail and tax fraud.

Bjorkland is accused of duping his clients who were facing drunk driving charges into donating money to a fake charity he’d set up. In exchange, they were told the contributions could bring a lighter sentence.

He’ll be extradited from Colorado to again face charges in Iowa’s Southern District.
