Citrus Heights man jailed on financial elder abuse and other charges
October 21, 2008
On September 2, 2008, an elderly couple was contacted by a man posing as a contractor who offered to repair their damaged roof. After two hours of work, the contractor demanded $1,900.00 for the repairs. The victims did not think this amount was reasonable and did not want to pay but did anyway because they felt "intimidated" by the male. They reported the incident to the Rocklin Police Department.
Michael Marks, 38 years, of Citrus Heights was arrested for burglary, theft, financial elder abuse, conspiracy, vandalism, and operating without a contractor’s license and is being held at the Placer County Jail.
Marks has previous complaints against him with the State of California Consumer Affairs-State Contractors Board for doing construction while not being a licensed contractor and has been fined in the past for violations.
Anyone that may have been victimized by Marks is asked to contact their local police department or Contractor’s State License Board at 916-255-2924.
