A Polo man has been charged with two felonies after allegedly cashing a check as a down payment for roofing materials on a project he never initiated.
Tyler Duane Veach, 37, faces charges of financial exploitation of an elder or disabled person and stealing $750 or more. Additionally, he has been charged with misdemeanor deceptive business practices.
Veach’s bond has been set at $10,000 cash only, with bond supervision assigned to Supervision Services. The court has ordered that he is not to have any contact with the alleged victim.
A bond appearance hearing for Veach is scheduled for August 22.
According to court documents, Veach is accused of cashing a check for $10,342.61 in July, ostensibly to purchase roofing materials required for a project. However, the materials were never delivered to the victim’s residence. The alleged victim is reported to be 65 years old.
Veach is also accused of promising to perform work or arrange for work that he either did not intend to carry out or knew would not be performed.
