Have you seen me? Moxee Police look for con man
---MOXEE POLICE NEWS RELEASE--- The Moxee Police Department wants to notify the public of a con man in the Yakima Valley. The suspect is responsible for numerous scams to defraud primarily elderly victims of money. The suspect has already victimized dozens of people throughout Yakima County. He has numerous active arrest warrants out for his arrest and dozens of other cases from Police Departments throughout the area. Police have identified the suspect and have even arrested him several times but unfortunately have been unable to jail him due to serious medical issues. The problem is a financial one, if the suspect is housed in the area jails the agencies involved have to pay for his extraordinary medical expenses. Given the circumstances the best way we can protect the public at this point is to make the suspects name and picture available so that people will quit falling for his scams and being victimized.

He got me for $45.00 I got his license plate # it is 927WBP it is a JEEP.I have pictures of him and parts of his face from my security camera. I picked his picture out of a line up.Gave to Sherrifs office, they gave it to Haggertys office.Sherrif got back to me and said it would cost to much to put him in jail so they said it was not a crime but I could hire me a lawyer and take him to civel court if I wanted. Im a senior citizen and if I had the money I would do it as a class action lawsuit.
Hate to say several coworkers and i fell for his SCAM we got together and filed a police report on him he was using the name Robert Bowden what the article failed to report was the vehicle he drives a white chevy blazer older model the phone number he uses belongs to his ex girlfriend so dont bother to call it if you happen to fall prey to him i only lost $20.00 but some of the guys lost up to $200.00 plus glad to see and read that the community was given a heads up on this clown i agree with Old man on the mountain
In our constitution is that we all have equal protection under the law. This man is let loose with the only punishment being a picture and short story to say they warned his next victims.Â
I can see a few lawyers using this to gain release of even more defendants. Â
Could IÂ suggest house arrest and an ankle bracelet for this person if you can not afford to jail him?Â
so its to expensive to protect the elderly?
