Florida Woman Arrested for Fraudulent Property Sales in Flagler County: A Case of Organized Scheme to Defraud
A Florida woman was arrested by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit for fraud related to the fraudulent sale of property in Flagler County. The investigation began after a property owner discovered her property had been sold without her knowledge. Detectives found that Cheryl Annette Jefferson was involved in the fraudulent sale of properties in Flagler County and other locations. Jefferson deposited funds from the sales into her bank account and transferred money to cryptocurrency accounts owned by Nigerian men. She claimed the funds were for a recording studio construction project in Nashville, Tennessee. Jefferson was arrested on a Flagler County fugitive warrant for organized scheme to defraud over $50,000 and later released on bond. Sheriff Rick Staly emphasized that crime has no borders and that high-profile friends won't help Jefferson out of the situation she's in.
