A Harford County VFW official was arrested Wednesday for allegedly defrauding more than 50 of his fellow veterans by soliciting a half-million dollars for a veteran?s center that never came.
Allen Wayne Shatto, the 60-year-old District 5 commander of the Maryland Veterans of Foreign Wars, was indicted Oct. 16 on 110 charges ranging from theft to conspiracy and forgery for allegedly scamming donations from other veterans, who believed they were contributing to a new VFW facility, said Harford County State?s Attorney Joe Cassilly.
