FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County deputies arrested a 55-year-old Roswell man Dec. 7 who allegedly left a customer’s pool unfinished.
The victim reported Aug. 4 he paid the suspect more than $71,950 to build a swimming pool in May 2022.
As of February 2023, he said only a single strip of tile around the inner edge of the pool had been completed, and he was left with an unfinished concrete shell and a partial wall, the report states.
The suspect reportedly told the victim by text in April that he was filing for bankruptcy.
The suspect said the decline of his business was “rapid and unexpected” and the result of rising costs and canceled contracts, the report states.
The victim reported finishing the pool with another company for $70,000. He later received a notice from the suspect’s bankruptcy attorney “along with several other people with similar situations.”
The suspect was later arrested and charged with two counts of felony theft by taking.
