Man pleads guilty to radio station scam

A man pleaded guilty in a Pittsburgh court to posing as a radio station employee to scam pedestrians out of their money.

Alan Carter McDonald pleaded guilty to theft by deception after he admitted to scamming 14 people out of amounts ranging from $20 to $170 between June 2006 and September 2007, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Wednesday.

Authorities said McDonald approached his victims on the street and told them he was giving away prizes on behalf of WXDX-FM, 105.9 the X, and all they had to do was pay shipping costs.

He's actually pretty smart and he's personable. He'd walk up to these strangers and ask them for money, said Assistant Public Defender Sumner Parker, who served as McDonald's attorney.

He was sentenced to consecutive two-year probation terms for each of the theft counts and ordered to pay $1,775 restitution. He was also ordered to undergo drug screening after he also pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of heroin.
