Man Accused Of Using Jewelry Store To Steal From Customers Arrested

Tulsa Police have arrested a man accused of using his jewelry store to steal from customers.

According to police, several people complained their jewelry would go missing after being dropping off jewelry to be cleaned or appraised at Jewelry Liquidation near 61st and Sheridan.

Police say customers tried to contact the owner, Paul Williams, about their jewelry but never heard back. Customers filed police reports and even made a Facebook page called "People Ripped off by Paul Williams."

Detectives say the store then closed without warning and Williams kept thousands of dollars of jewelry to pawn for himself.

Police arrested Williams on several counts of embezzlement.
