Collinsville man charged in home improvement scam
A Collinsville, Illinois man has been arrested in connection to a home repair scam in Arnold, Missouri. On November 10, Arnold police released video of a man wanted for taking $5,000 from an elderly homeowner for a roofing job that was never done. The suspect, identified by police as Garry Puckett, had approached the homeowner while he worked out in his yard and told him his roof needed repair. Puckett showed him where the work needed to be done and that he could give him a new roof for $5,000. The homeowner and Puckett went to a bank where the money was withdrawn. Puckett then allegedly took the money and promised to return the next day to do the work. The homeowner never saw him again. The bank where the two went to get the money had cameras that showed Puckett's face. After NewsChannel 5 and other media broadcast pictures of Puckett, who at the time was still unidentified by authorities, the calls started coming in to police. Police said around 15 people called them, many anonymous, with tips on where Puckett could be found. Some where acquaintances, while one was a victim who said Puckett had been using the name of her relative's business to try to perpetrate more scams. Police found Puckett, 41, arrested him, and the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged him with felony stealing. At last check he was in custody in Illinois awaiting extradition back to Jeffeson County. http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=230817&catid=3 |
