Chase Tate death: Brother denies fraud over plaque cash
Family issueThe brother of a man who was killed in a suspected hit-and-run has denied pocketing cash donated for a plaque in his memory.
Chase Tate, 23, died after being hit by a vehicle on the A1104 at Miles Cross Hill, Ulceby, on 7 January 2017.
His brother, Ford North, of Chauntry Road, Alford, pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud by false representation at Lincoln Crown Court.
The 25-year-old was bailed and is due to stand trial on 23 July.
Mr North is alleged to have fraudulently requested donations for a memorial plaque for his brother on dates between 14 January and 16 February 2017.
Two men, aged 21 and 56, arrested in connection with the suspected hit-and-run, were released without charge.
Police are still appealing for information.
