The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office said Nexus Services CEO Mike Donovan was arrested Wednesday after being indicted on fraud charges. The indictment lists 22-year-old Zachary Cruz as the victim.

Donovan said in a phone interview that Cruz has not been exploited and accused authorities of corrupt conduct.
