WINTER GARDEN, Fla. – A Winter Garden automotive dealer has pleaded guilty to charges that he rolled back the odometer on vehicles he sold in Florida and Arizona.
According to federal court documents, investigators claimed Drew Mitchell Schreiber purchased 140 high milage motor vehicles, rolled back the odometers to lower mileage, and sold the vehicles to “unsuspecting buyers” in Central Florida and elsewhere.
