Business Owner Accused of Swindle

A St. Peters business owner is accused of swindling an elderly woman with Alzheimers out of $41,000.

50-year old Kevin Cullinan was arrested this week - he's owned and operated KC's Clock Shop for 20 years.

Police say they've received some 30 additional complaints against Cullinan since his arrest.In fact, St. Peters police spokesperson Melissa Doss tells KMOX News the ongoing case has grown so big they've turned it over to the state.

"We're asking from this point forward for people to contact the Missouri Attorney General's office," Doss explains.

Their hotline number is 1-800-392-8222.

Cullinan is no stranger to controversy, having had 20 civil suits filed against him over the past decade.

Cullinan's being held on a $35,000 cash-only bond, charged with financial exploitation of the elderly, seven counts of stealing by deceit and one count of attempted stealing.

They are all felony offenses.
