News from the D.A. VENTURA, CA - District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced the arrest of Oxnard resident Michael McDevitt for felony grand theft and tax evasion. He is charged with seven felony counts of grand theft and two felony counts of tax evasion. The charges are the result of an investigation conducted by the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Unit and the Franchise Tax Board (FTB). District Attorney McDevitt operated a Gregory D. Totten loan modification company called Scovis Law Group (SLG) in Thousand Oaks, California. The SLG represented that it was an expert in the field of loan modifications. McDevitt and his agents are alleged to have made numerous false representations to victims who were promised loan modifications throughout 2010 and 2011 in return for advance fees. The collection of upfront fees for mortgage loan modifications is illegal in California. Victims received no actual services and suffered monetary losses of approximately $29,000. In addition, it is alleged that McDevitt failed to disclose $67,818 in taxable income for 2009 and failed to report $718,197 in taxable income for 2010.
Get the Scoop on Crime! On Monday, August 18, Oxnard police responded to the 700 block of Nandina Place in reference to a domestic with a handgun involved. Upon arrival, officers learned that Anthony Carbajal had been involved in an argument with the mother of his 3 year old child. Carbajal fled the residence in his car before police arrived, taking his son with him. Officers from the Oxnard Police Department Special Enforcement Unit located Carbajal driving north on Ventura Rd. and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Carbajal tried to evade officers and a 5 minute pursuit began reaching speeds of 60 mph. He led officers back to the 700 block of Nandina Place where he stopped and was taken into custody without further incident. A search of the vehicle revealed a small quantity of narcotics, ammunition and a handgun magazine. The 3 year old child was also inside the vehicle and unharmed. Carbajal was booked for battery, child endangerment, evading the police, violation of a domestic restraining order and several firearms charges. If anyone has information about this incident, they are encouraged to call the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7740.
