Meet Rashawn Prioleau. He is 21 years old and doesn't look like a criminal but he is a seasoned con-artist! Prioleau is currently wanted by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police- who have 6 warrants for his arrest on charges of identity fraud, false pretense, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and probation violations in Union County.Prioleau is known to pay with stolen checks, rent things and then sell them, obtain credit cards using the identities of others to purchase high dollar items, etc. I am told he is a smooth talker and knows just what to say. Apparently, he has some slick friends on hand who he uses as references for his schemes. If you work in a business and deal with the general public- remember his face or you too could become his next victim.
Prioleau's first arrest in Charlotte was in February of 2005. He was arrested on four counts of writing worthless checks, speeding and driving without a license. On July 3, 2005, he was arrested for two counts of writing worthless checks and false pretense. On July 26, 2005, Prioleau was arrested in Union County for larceny. (Union County doesn't dismiss cases like we do here in Charlotte and he was sentenced to 5 years probation & restitution on Dec 13, 2005)On October 13, 2005, he was arrested for financial identity fraud, false pretense, worthless check and larceny of a motor vehicle. Prioleau was arrested again in Union County on December 3, 2005 for larceny of a motor vehicle and obtaining property by false pretense. He was back in Mecklenburg County when he was arrested on April 7, 2006 for false pretense and probation violation. Prioleau violated probation again and was arrested on August 15, 2006 . He was also charged with resisting a police officer. CMPD got him again on September 11, 2006 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Prioleau was released from Jail on September 12, 2006 and has not been seen since. He has failed to appear in court to face his numerous charges and I am sure he is out there scamming more people right now. He has some ties to Greensboro, NC and may go back and forth between cities. If you know the immediate whereabouts of Rashawn Prioleau, please call 911.
