Evansville Police arrested former County Commissioner Ben Shoulders on charges of attempted fraud and filing a fraudulent campaign finance report.
Police say that in October 2023, Shoulders allegedly contacted Evansville Police, reporting fraudulent eBay charges on his campaign bank statement. According to police, their investigation found sports memorabilia purchased on eBay and shipped to Shoulders’ address, along with money being falsely reported as donations to non-profits and money transferred to another account in Ben Shoulders’ name.
In all, police believe that $55,000 in campaign funds were misused. His bond is $500.
This is a developing story.
