COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– The State Attorney General’s Office says one man faces 125 charges in a nearly $1.4 million auto loan scam.

Investigators say Keiron Murray used various small dealerships to obtain fraudulent loans from banks for cars that were never in the dealerships’ or the supposed purchaser’s possession.

Officials say Murray would then steal the loan proceeds.

Murray is facing 125 charges on seven separate indictments in Richland Co., Sumter Co., & Colleton Co.

The State Grand Jury also charged Tamika Coleman with Criminal Conspiracy.

The Attorney General’s Office says she was previously indicted in connection to Alex Murdaugh’s financial crimes.
