VERMILLION COUNTY, Ind – Vermilion County Police have arrested a man on charges of theft and home improvement fraud.

Police say that in late September they were told that 32-year-old Charles Richardson III had agreed to replace his roof in the Spring of 2018.

However, after the home owner had paid over $4,000 as a down payment, Richardson failed to return to start the work and refused to return the money.

Richardson is being held in the Vermillion County Jail on $10,000.00 bond.
