Othello Man Indicted for Rolling Back and Replacing Odometers

US Attorney’s Office – Eastern District of WA – Monday, September 9, 2024

A press release by the US Attorney’s Office out of Washington reported that a Spokane man had been indicted on five counts of Odometer Tampering.  The indictment alleges he carried out a scheme to acquire used cars with high mileage, so he could tamper with or replace the odometers to make the cars mileage appear much lower.  He then reportedly advertised and sold the cars to unsuspecting buyers for inflated prices.
