todayDecember 1, 2023

A suspect has been arrested in connection with a so-called grandparent scam in Dodge County.   The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office says a suspect, identified only as a Canadian National,  was indicted last week by a federal grand jury  on several charges including the fraud in Dodge County.   The investigation began in May when the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office received a report that an elderly resident received a call  that their grandson was in jail and needed money for bail.  The victim gave money to a suspect who came to their residence and identified himself as a representative for their grandson’s attorney.  With the help of a forensic sketch artist investigators were able to identify a suspect that led detectives to a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  The Dodge County detective’s investigation identified  an additional 11 victims.
