A Tennessee man has been arrested after being arraigned on charges he stole $50,000 from World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) in Stamford. Investigators say James Bass, 34, discovered the number of a WWE checking account with Wells Fargo, as well as the bank's routing number. Police say he allegedly printed four checks using the company's account information and ordered items over the phone. Authorities say they were tipped off when WWE accountants noticed 50 unauthorized withdrawals. All of the money was taken during the span of one month and was used to pay for the suspect's living expenses. Bass has admitted to the thefts and is currently being held on $50,000 bond.
