(La Porte County, IN) - A Michigan City man given money to complete the remodeling of a home never finished the job. Such are the allegations filed against Kevin Gloy in La Porte Circuit Court.

 

Gloy, 50, is charged with two counts of Level 6 Felony Fraud and a Misdemeanor count of Fraud.

 

According to court documents, Gloy was hired in June to complete the work by Christmas but each time he showed up, he only worked for brief periods of time. He was given more than $6,500, with some of the money intended for cabinetry and doors that were never received. In early December, Gloy stopped showing up all together and when reached by the victim gave an excuse each time for not working.

 

When police were called in February, there was uncompleted work in nearly every room of the house, such as halfway painted moulding and trim along with some unpainted walls. Construction materials were also left piled up in her bathroom and garage near Fail Road just east of La Porte.

 

Gloy, after posting bail, appeared for his initial court hearing on Wednesday with private counsel.
