Alleged Hoboken con man, ‘Dr. Dexter Davis,’ arrested

HOBOKEN – Last month, students at Hoboken High School complained that a man calling himself “Dr. Dexter Davis” met with them at the school and had them raise money by selling raffle tickets for what allegedly turned out to be bogus scholarships. An internet search found other incidents of a man with that name allegedly causing problems.
Over this past weekend, according to the Hoboken police, Davis was arrested by the Cherry Hill police. Davis will eventually come back to Hudson County Superior Court to answer the charges, according to the Hoboken police.
According to the Cherry Hill police report, three men in Cherry Hill had complained about Davis this past Saturday, alleging that he asked them to sell raffle tickets for a bogus raffle. On Sunday, one of the men spotted Davis in a Cherry Hill Dunkin’ Donuts and called police. The police found out there was a warrant out for him in Hudson County and arrested him.
