A Boone County man who allegedly duped an elderly woman out of money and stole her credit card and used it in Baxter County has been arrested. The purchases made by 38-year-old Joshua Edward Barrs totaled nearly $800.
According to the probable cause statement in the case, the victim told Harrison police she found Barrs sleeping in his car on her property. She says Barrs told her his dad had just died in Georgia and he needed a place to stay to save money to make the trip for the funeral. He says a friend had referred him to the victim. The victim rented him an apartment after he told her he had a steady job in Alpena.
