Stillwater Police Arrest Man After Attempted Scam; Other Victims Possible

Yesterday, the Stillwater Police Department arrested an individual who attempted to scam an elderly Stillwater couple. The male suspect was in the course of defrauding the couple of $12k. He told the couple the funds would be used for bond money to free a relative from jail in Florida. Fortunately, this alert couple was suspicious and contacted the police. Officers arrived to find the suspect at the couple’s residence posing as a “bond courier.” This is an ongoing investigation and evidence has led Stillwater PD to believe there are other victims in our city and/or in surrounding areas. If you have been the victim of this type of scam recently in Stillwater or know someone who has, contact the Stillwater Police immediately at 405-372-4171 or in Ponca City, call the Ponca City Police department at 580-767-0370.
