A Durant man, Aaron Shults, aged 21, was arrested for attempting to defraud a woman in a property rental scam. Court records reveal that Shults allegedly solicited a $1,100 check as a security deposit for a rental home on Brookside Court. Although the property was legitimately available for rent, Shults did not own it.
Charged with obtaining money through false pretenses, Shults has been ordered to refrain from using social media while the case is ongoing. If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail or a fine of $1,000.
