Authorities in Madison County, North Carolina reported that a pool contractor was arrested for theft by deception and operating under a false license. He also had a forged document.
A report by News 19 claims that the contractor has been accused of swindling numerous clients, taking deposits upfront for pool installation and not completing the work. Authorities in Madison County tracked down the contractor and alleged that he had swindled innocent victims out of thousands of dollars.
