MUSKEGON COUNTY, Mich. – A scam artist who conned women online has been returned to Michigan and charged criminally.
On Jan. 4, FOX 17 reported on Jeffery Lucas, who found women online and conned them into giving him thousands of dollars. Once Lucas received the money, he would then just take off.
Lucas was extradited to Michigan, where he was charged Wednesday with two felony counts of obstructing justice/failure to appear. Lucas appeared in District Court Wednesday and was bound over to Circuit Court for trial on both charges.
He is now being held in the Muskegon County Jail on $200,000 bond.
