Kevin Miles, the 41-year-old insurance agent who allegedly scammed more than 30 people out of a total of $75,000, is in custody, according to Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office.

Miles was arrested by the Cherokee Indian Police Department in Cherokee, North Carolina.

Miles worked in the Tennessee Valley area as an independent insurance agent for Atlantic Coast Insurance Co. From June 2017 to July this year, he was working with Wilson Funeral Home, a family- owned funeral home that has locations in Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold, Chickamauga and LaFayette, Georgia.

Sheriff Gary Sisk said the sheriff’s office was alerted to Miles’ behavior about two weeks ago and has found seven cases of theft by deception and exploitation of an elderly person. There are about 28 more victims, the sheriff believes.

Both of the charges are felonies due to the amount allegedly stolen.
