Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a man in connection with a scam against elderly residents in Central Wisconsin.
Police say Alejandro Garcia of Miami, Florida, called up the victim in the case and claimed that woman’s granddaughter had been in a serious accident and needed $4,000 in bail money.
He went to the victim’s house in person to collect the money and then tried asking for another $100,000.
That’s when the woman called the police.
He’s now being held on a $30,000 cash bond.
Police say other residents got scammed out of $80,000 in similar crimes.
