Contractor gets 10 days for not doing driveway repairs
|
The defendant, Glen W. Stamper Jr., 21, entered guilty pleas Tuesday before General Sessions Judge Larry Ross to four counts of theft under $500. He was ordered to serve 10 days and then serve two consecutive 11-month, 29-day sentences on probation. He must also make $370 restitution to the four victims, with that amount representing the combined cash he took for the driveway sealing work he never performed.
His plea comes after he was arrested for not performing agreed-upon work for local residents, each of whom gave him down payments ranging from $50 to $120. Stamper reportedly approached the people at their homes, offering his services in driveway repair. Several other residents also used Stamper’s services, some reporting the job was done subpar.
Stamper became a suspect in the case after the victims came forward to report they had been taken. He was picked out of a photo lineup by the victims and was taken into custody in another county following a short time at-large.
In addition to his restitution and jail time, Stamper was warned not to contract any future jobs in Warren County.
