A Bowling Green man was sentenced on Wednesday for wire fraud, conspiracy to commit odometer tampering, and four counts of odometer tampering.
Randy Huff, 59, owner of South Side Auto Sales in Bowling Green and Huff’s Auto Sales in Beaver Dam, was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, followed by one year of supervised release.
According to court documents, between June 2018 and January 2023, Huff, aided and abetted by an employee, devised a scheme to defraud buyers of used cars by fraudulently reducing the mileage shown on the odometers of vehicles sold at his used car lots.
In the scheme, he purchased high-mileage vehicles at auction, then directed his employees to replace the vehicles’ odometers with ones showing lower mileage. Buyers were not informed of the odometer replacements.
Huff was also ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution.
On March 11, an employee at South Side Auto Sales, 51-year-old Donnie Wilson of Bowling Green, was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution for wire fraud, conspiracy to commit odometer tampering, and four counts of odometer tampering.
There is no parole in the federal system.
