VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman who believed she was helping a retired Army general and a wounded military dog ended up being the victim of a scheme that cost her $60,000, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies said 56-year-old Cory Woodall, of Oxford, North Carolina, convinced the 70-year-old woman that she was helping a retired Army general get back to the U.S. after she responded to an email about a wounded military dog.
Investigators said the woman sent Woodall the money, including $30,000 in cash. They said Woodall used the money to buy a car, a mower and a trailer.
Woodall was extradited to Volusia County on Tuesday and was charged with organized scheme to defraud and grand theft.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood confronted Woodall when he arrived. H
