Private Investigator Arrested for Theft by Deception

In November of 2021 the Dothan Police Department received a complaint from a victim alleging a private investigator in Dothan had taken advantage of them. As that was being investigated, an additional victim made a similar report. While investigating these claims additional victims came forward making similar allegations.
