An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation into an allegation of theft has resulted in the indictment of a Gallatin man.
At the request of the 18th Judicial District Attorney General Ray Whitley, in July 2021, Agents began investigating an allegation of theft by Mayolo Ochoa. Agents learned the victim purchased a property in Sumner County in May 2020 from a third party. Ochoa told the victim that a $50,000 down payment was required in addition to the purchase price in the promissory note.
