COLUMBUS, Ohio — The mother of a jailed Ohio man said Saturday her son has “a very caring heart” and was a mentor to a teenager charged in a deadly robbery scheme in which police say victims were lured with bogus help-wanted ads on Craigslist.
Carol Beasley said she spoke to her son Richard, and she prays that a newspaper report that he is a suspect is not true.
Richard Beasley, 52, was in jail on unrelated charges when police arrested two suspects in the robbery scheme, including a 16-year-old boy Beasley’s mother says he befriended. The teenager was charged Friday with attempted murder.
