A Florida man was arrested for a 2024 scam that stole $251,972 from a Louisiana school board via fake metal detector purchases.
Wiley M. Howell, 58, of Clearwater, Florida, was arrested in December 2025 and extradited to Louisiana in January 2026 over a 2024 scam that defrauded the Sabine Parish School Board of $251,972.
The scheme used a business email compromise to trick an employee into sending funds for fake metal detector purchases.
Louisiana Bureau of Investigation agents traced the money through multiple banks and cryptocurrency accounts, finding Howell quickly drained the accounts and sent portions to unknown individuals abroad.
He faces multiple felony charges including theft by fraud, illegal transmission of funds, and money laundering, and remains jailed in Sabine Parish.
