A major new development tonight in a six on your side investigation. Just hours after we exposed a multimillion dollar loss by a closed Fremont company an arrest is made by the feds. Mike mcknight has details in our six on your side follow-up.

As facebook photos show Dodge County sheriff's investigator Craig Harbaugh wore his badge for all to see but a federal indictment alleges he used phony contracts to hide a nearly eleven million dollar fraud. It all centers on his closed tactical solutions gear store in Fremont.

The indictment alleges to convince a half dozen investors and great western bank to give or loan him more money, Harbaugh had to falsify documents and photos to make it look like he had contracts to sell his tactical gear and weapons.

And a bogus $10-million defense department contract for night vision gun sights. Harbaugh alleged showed investors and the bank false contracts with several law enforcement agencies. One victim who invested $1.3 million sent Harbaugh a mis-typed text but with a clear interpretation "Thanks for losing all our retirement money $1.3 dollars you just kept taking our money."

Harbaugh responded "I swear your money is good I did not lose it. You will have it on Monday. "An indictment indicates that most of it they didn't get back.

The indictment alleges the scam cost the investors and the bank a total of nearly $11 million. What it doesn't say where did all that money go?

The,Dodge County sheriff hasn't returned our message but sources say Harbaugh had been on suspension for several weeks. We're also told that

F-B-I agents arrested Harbaugh at the Dodge County Courthouse where he was to appear at a replevin hearing with Great Western bank.
