Job Offer Held Out Con Game Costs Man $110
Charles Crook of 1400 South Second Street fell for a pigeon drop style scam on Broad Street. A man named Smitty talked Crook into a bank bond and, after Crook withdrew his savings, the envelope he received contained only blank paper and no money. Crook lost $105 of his $110 savings and the suspect vanished. Police describe Smitty as about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 170 pounds, wearing a white short sleeve shirt and tan hat. The incident follows other local financial concerns as residents protest storm sewer assessments that hit interior lot owners hard and prompt a September meeting with city officials.
