Bowling Green man sentenced for odometer tampering
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Bowling Green man has been sentenced for wire fraud and odometer tampering.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office, Western District of Kentucky, 59-year-old Randy Huff was sentenced to one year and six months in federal prison ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution, for wire fraud, conspiracy to commit odometer tampering, and four counts of odometer tampering.
Huff owns South Side Auto Sales in Bowling Green and Huff’s Auto Sales in Beaver Dam, according to officials.
According to officials, court documents state that between June 2018 and January 2023, Huff, aided and abetted by an employee, “devised a scheme to defraud buyers of used cars by fraudulently reducing the mileage shown on the odometers of vehicles sold at his used car lots.”
In addition, court documents state Huff bought high mileage vehicles at auctions and told his employees to replace the vehicles’ odometers with ones showing a lower mileage.
Officials say buyers were not told of the odometer replacements.
On March 11, 2025, officials say an employee at South Side Auto Sales, Donnie Wilson of Bowling Green, was sentenced to probation for a three-year term and ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution for wire fraud, conspiracy to commit odometer tampering and four counts of odometer tampering.
