An Eastern Washington man is accused of buying used cars and then selling them with odometers that showed lower mileage — in some cases more than 100,000 fewer miles.
Reynaldo Valdez Garza Jr., of Othello, 52, is charged in federal court with five counts of odometer tampering, including on a Ford F-150 he sold on behalf of Cars 4 Less Auto Sales in Kennewick.
There is no indication in court documents that the Tri-Cities business knew of the alleged fraud.
A grand jury indicted Garza Sept. 4, but court records were sealed until after his arrest.
