Princeton Man Accused Of Scam
WEST VIRGINIA...
Willis Caudill is from Princeton, but he's accused of trying to scam a Kanawha City woman out of 15 thousand dollars. His alleged hook was posing as a police officer trying to lure in scammers. Caudill denied ever acting as a police officer saying, "No definitely not. I have no clue why (I've been arrested).", Caudill said.
Detective Steve Cooper with the Charleston Police Department said, "The lady tentatively agreed. She contacted us and we met there and approached him." Detective Hunt with the Charleston Police says he walked up to Caudill's truck at the City National Bank in Kanawha City, but once he introduced himself as a real police officer, Caudill took off. But on top of the fleeing and fraudulent schemes charges, Hunt says he can expect another charge: Threatening a police officer. Caudill is now being held on a 250 thousand property only bond.
