Samaritan gets shafted
A West Point Road resident told Troup deputies he is out $35 after giving another man a ride.
The victim said he met a man at Pony Express on Vernon Road who said his car was next door at Lee’s Crossing Tire and Service and that the man needed a ride to Lee’s Crossing Apartments. The victim gave the man a ride, but the man asked him for $35 until they got to another gas station. The man told the victim he would give him his money after he went to the gas station and cashed a $500 lottery ticket. The gas station wouldn’t cash the ticket so the man asked to be taken to a Houston Street house and that he would pay him the $35, plus an extra $50 for gas.
When the victim drove the man to Houston Street, he went inside and didn’t come out, even after the victim knocked on the door.
