MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. - A Macomb County contractor is facing charges after he allegedly took thousands of dollars from a woman but didn't complete the job he was hired to do.
According to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office, Neil Trapp was supposed to build a wheelchair ramp for Julie Tate on March 21.
However, Trapp allegedly told Tate he needed more money for material and supplies.
On March 25, Trapp told Tate the job was done and she paid him the rest of the contracted price, but officials said the job wasn't completed to code and a permit wasn't obtained for the project.
The people of Macomb County, especially those victimized by Mr. Trapp, need to be reassured that the justice system is on their side," Prosecutor Eric Smith said.
