The Harm

Psychic didn’t see arrest coming

Desperate to reunite with his former girlfriend, a man from Illinois decided to answer an ad for a psychic.

It was an ad found on the back pages of newspapers and magazines.

But after wiring the psychic thousands of dollars and waiting three months, the man said his former girlfriend never reappeared.

But the alleged victim in this case did call, and after a lengthy investigation by HPD’s Major Offenders Division, 40-year-old Michelle Evans. She was charged with felony theft and, officials say, she is no stranger to police nor 11 News.

You see, Evans, who works out of this store front off Louetta, was arrested for committing a similar crime in 1994.

Court records obtained by 11 News this time reveal that from June through August of last year, the alleged victim sent Evans more than $72,000.
