Sheriff Busts Scammer, Recovers $52,000 Stolen in Facebook Marketplace Fraud
Good morning, Demetria. Good morning. I am Sheriff Chitwood. I am the reason why you are here. Okay. I don’t understand. Okay. Well, this is Detective Hinson, and he’s the one who’s been tracking you down and what’s going on. We don’t like to have our residents become victims of fraud. I’m I’m a victim myself. Well, I’ll tell you what. We’re going to give you the opportunity to talk to the detective. Sure. And he’ll read you your rights and he’ll you explain to him everything that went on. Of course I will. Okay. Well, that’s great. We’re glad. Well, welcome to Florida. Okay. Okay. These gentlemen will take good care of you. Thank you. Okay. You could follow them. Okay.
Demetria defrauded an Orange City resident of $52,000 through a fake excavator sale on Facebook Marketplace. Using bank records and other investigative resources, Volusia Sheriff’s Office financial crimes detectives tracked the suspect down near Detroit.
Investigators have probable cause to believe Demetria played a major role in laundering money not only from this victim but possibly from others across the country.
The good news is that the victim’s money has been recovered and any day a scammer is behind bars is a good day.

The real victim is her hair 😅
Goodmorning Sheriff Chitwood, I really think you are wonderfull taking care of this kind of frauds. It is not only about the money, it is about the pain and sorrow of being cheated that causes heartache to the people, especially elderly. Thank you

Blacks when caught committing crimes:
"I'm a victim myself"
Good morning Whoopi….
I'm not sure she's a scammer. I think she's been used to scam other people, so when tracked she would take the fall.
Always a victim
