Man sought for allegedly conning relatives out of $109,000

 
Boone County sheriff's deputies are looking for a 44-year-old Sturgeon man they believe swindled elderly relatives out of $109,000 in April, Detective Tom O'Sullivan said in a news release.

A warrant was issued Jan. 3 for the arrest of Farrel G. Pride of the 20000 block of North Route V. He was charged in December with financial exploitation of the elderly after a sheriff's department investigation.

The couple Pride allegedly bilked out of the cash live in Colorado and contacted the sheriff's department in April once they realized they had been the victims of a ruse, O'Sullivan said.

There's got to be BIG jail time to try to stop the thieves.

Elder exploitation is elder exploitation and it deserves stiff penalties.

There's really no other way to stop this but big jail time.
