The jail's website says 51-year-old Boggs was arrested by Paducah Police officers on June 6. He is charged with theft by unlawful taking over $10,000 but under $1 million. Those charges stem from allegations that Boggs stole nearly $25,000 from the Barbecue on the River bank account to pay off scammers who were threatening to expose lewd photos he sent to someone he incorrectly believed to be an underage person.
Boggs had gone missing from the Paducah area for more than 18 months after the alleged theft was discovered. An extensive investigation and a lucky lead led PPD officers to the Columbia, SC area, where Boggs was found living in a trailer park. He was taken into custody by Lexington County, SC authorities on May 28.
Boggs' preliminary hearing has been set for Thursday in McCracken District Court. His bond has been set at $50,000.
