The owner of a car dealership in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania faces nearly 150 criminal charges related to what investigators are calling fraudulent sales practices.

Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release on Tuesday that 49-year-old Khaled Yaye was charged after a fraud investigation. He is the owner and operator of Yeni Auto Sales on South Cameron Street in Harrisburg, authorities said.

Court records show Yaye faces 144 charges, ranging from felonies to misdemeanors to summary offenses. The felony charges are forgery and deceptive or fraudulent business practices. Some of the charges stem from the Pennsylvania Board of Vehicles Act for substantial misrepresentation of material facts in a vehicle sale, unprofessional conduct, and willful failure to display his dealership license.

State police said in the news release that the Harrisburg man also faces more than 130 violations of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code in connection with the improper handling, reassignment and processing of vehicle titles at his dealership.

Yaye was arraigned in court on Tuesday, online records show. He is due back in court next month. State police did not release any additional details on Tuesday.

That's exactly what I did!
