On paper, someone got an automotive bargain at a public auction two months ago.
However, a high bid of $100 for an SUV once owned by alleged serial fraudster John Rogers is now in controversy.
First Arkansas Bank & Trust of Jacksonville, which had the 2003 GMC Yukon seized on Aug. 21, is seeking to undo a sale conducted by the Pulaski County Sheriff.
Procedural grounds are cited. At the top of the list is the lack of notice to the bank, which wouldn’t have let the vehicle go for such a low price.
While the court sorts through this, the Yukon’s owner of record for now remains Belencia Ellington of North Little Rock.
