A man is arrested and accused of targeting and scamming an elderly Rusk County resident.
Law enforcement took Miteshkumar Chaudhari into custody last night during a sting operation. Sheriff Phillip Grassmann says the suspect was in the country illegally, and the sheriff’s office has been in contact with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Grassmann encourages people to have conversations with their elderly loved ones about the signs of a scam, including threatening phone calls or emails from people who claim to be government officials and requests for money via gift cards or cryptocurrency.
