SEARCH WARRANTS CONCERNING FALSE BILLINGS OF LIGHT BULBS EXECUTED

In conjunction with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Major Crimes Task Force executed search warrants at properties owned by Samuel Seckman at 49270 Bissell Road, Long Bottom, OH, and 42177 State Route 7, Tuppers Plains, OH.

The search warrants are part of an investigation into allegations that Seckman, under the guise of his company called Universal Products, sold the Washington County Courthouse $40,000 worth of light bulbs, a majority of which were never delivered. In the affidavit requesting the search warrant in Meigs County Common Pleas Court, Detective Scott Parks alleges that former maintenance supervisor Chuck Moody bragged about receiving kickbacks from “Sam, that light bulb guy,” and of 143 cases light bulbs ordered, only thirty-eight were delivered. Officers hope to recover from Seckman’s properties any records of Seckman operating a business; any orders, billing records and invoices, records of transactions; personal/commercial bank records associated with Seckman.

Further information pertaining to this case will be released at a later date, as this investigation is ongoing.
