PHOENIX (3TV / CBS 5) – An accused fraudster is being investigated for major rental fraud. Victims told Arizona’s family that he had offered several families the same apartment and in the end they claimed he left them with no thousands of dollars or a roof over their heads. It leaves families in their cars. “OK, so my car is literally full,” said Brooke Hites. When Arizona’s family spoke to five families at the apartment, detectives stopped and recorded additional anti-stress reports. (Source: 3TV / CBS 5) Hites’ address is her Jetta. For Courtney Taylor and Kyle Johnson, it’s a Kia Soul. They sleep there every night. “I fell so much that I put my entire family at risk,” said Johnson. They were initially relieved to finally get hold of a condo on 19th Avenue and Morten Avenue, south of Northern Avenue, in downtown Phoenix, which was advertised on Facebook. “I saw that it was affordable, a nice apartment with a back yard, a dog door, two bedrooms, two bathrooms. It was perfect for me and my family,” said Hites. Hites said she paid more than $ 1,000 for the first month’s rent and security deposit. What she didn’t know was that Taylor and Johnson also paid for the same apartment. “He told me ‘money talks, BS walks,'” said Clarisa Odell. She and her husband also paid nearly $ 2,000 for the same apartment. “I was excited to finally have something for my kids,” said Odell. Phoenix police intercepted after saying Jacob Soloman and his girlfriend paid Christopher Stress for the apartment and Soloman sold his car in exchange for a full year of rent. When the apartment was never ready, Soloman filed a police report and investigators found the suspect in the car. Police said the stress emanated from officials and eventually swallowed pills containing fentanyl. Stress has been charged with several crimes. “It is wrong that people can do that for families,” Soloman said.

When Arizona’s family spoke to five families at the apartment, detectives stopped and recorded additional anti-stress reports. “I’m really ashamed that there are (sic) people like that out there,” said Johnson. Phoenix Police told the Arizona family that there could be more charges and even arrests. Odell created a GoFundMe page to help out the families.
