WRTV INVESTIGATES | John Bragg, who is wanted in Johnson County on fraud and theft charges stemming from the company JB Bugs Trick Truck N Rod, is now being searched for in West Virginia.

A WRTV Investigation revealed John Bragg, 45, worked at a Whiteland restoration shop JB Bugs Trick Truck N Rod and is accused of taking customers’ money but not doing the work or providing vehicles they paid for.

“Detectives from Johnson County Sheriff’s Office made contact with Melanie Goode in Charleston, West Virginia in late December 2022 at which time they spoke with Bragg over the phone," read the release from Kanawha County. “Bragg claimed to be working out of town and would be turning himself in to Indiana authorities in the coming days.”Records show he was convicted of organized fraud in Walton County, Florida in December 2020 and is serving five years of probation.
