DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A woman accused of scamming an Orange City resident out of $52,000 is now in custody.
Demetria Latimer was arrested near Detroit after investigators said she sold a fake excavator on Facebook Marketplace.
Detectives tracked her down and recovered the victim’s money, and they believe she may have scammed others too.
Sheriff Mike Chitwood greeted Latimer as she arrived at the airport.
“Any day another scammer is locked up is a good day,” Chitwood said.
