(SCOTTSBURG) - A 16-year-old Scott County teenager was seen going door-to-door along Lover’s Lane and South Jimtown Lane on Monday asking neighbors for money to support his track team at Scottsburg High School.
Johnney Coomer, the Scott County Assistant Jail Commander, was visiting his mother when the teenager came to the door. Coomer felt something wasn't right because the boy had been "relieved" from the team last year.
Coomer got in his truck and followed the boy to another house. He then confronted the boy and asked about his coach. the boy couldn't answer Coomer's questions.
Scott County deputies arrived and arrested the teen on five counts of fraud after admitting cutting off a monitoring device from previous supervision also due to fraud charges.
