A former President of the Vanderburgh County Commission was arrested Wednesday afternoon on fraud charges.
In October 2023 Ben Shoulders reported he had discovered several fraudulent eBay purchases on his bank statement.
Evansville Police say he was seeking reimbursement for those charges in an account listed as “Shoulders For Commissioner”.
During an in-depth investigation, several discrepancies were uncovered such as donations to local non-profits that never happened.
Close to $55,000 in funds from the “Shoulders For Commissioner” account was allegedly misused.
