At approximately 11:30 p.m., Investigator Gorton Williams and Officer Ryan Cross located and arrested Donate O’Neil Miles, 25, of Garysburg, on outstanding warrants for obtaining property by false pretense.
These charges stem from a matter reported last September investigated by Lieutenant C.L. Vaught.
The victim reported they inquired about renting a house from Miles and wired him money.
Investigation showed, however, Miles did not have the authority to make the transaction.
Miles was also served a fugitive warrant from Maryland for fraud charges.
He was jailed without opportunity for bond on the fugitive warrant.
