"He's a scumbag," Chitwood said.

VOLUSIA COUNTY: Fla. — Chitwood did not mince words in describing Blake, in light of what he's accused of.

Chitwood said it all started a couple of weeks ago when Blake asked for a selfie. Deputies said Blake then posted the selfie with Chitwood to a bogus charity website to make the site appear more credible.

"The next morning, I received about five phone calls from different people who had dealings with him." Chitwood said.

Investigators said Blake hosted a charity golf tournament at Debary Golf and Country Club on Oct 28.
