The Lake Monticello man accused of selling high-end hot dog carts online, taking the money and then not delivering the goods has been indicted for fraud.

Carlos Rios has been charged with five counts of fraud. The indictments went before a grand jury February 7 and they found probable cause in the case.

More than a dozen people nationwide filed complaints in December with the Better Business Bureau, claiming that Rios' Orange County-based New World Hot Dog Cart Company scammed them.

The carts, which were advertised on eBay, sell for anywhere between $1,500 and $4,300.

In response, Rios writes, "I was going to make sure everyone I owed a cart got their cart. And they now are. These complaints are over a period of three years are a small percentage of my sales."

Despite his defense, the BBB found grounds for legal action.

Rios will be in Albemarle County Circuit Court for a hearing March 31. He has been released on an unsecured $5,000 bond.
