A jury Thursday convicted a former Sand City man of 24 charges, including financial elder abuse, residential burglary, grand theft and contracting without a license.
In 2006 and 2008, Timothy Ralph Carrillo, 49, solicited home repair and remodeling projects from elderly residents and other victims in Pebble Beach, Carmel, Seaside and Watsonville. He disappeared with large sums of money without providing services.
Prosecutor Jeannine Pacioni said nine victims, seven of whom were elderly, testified to losses ranging from $1,260 to $65,000.
Carrillo is in California on loan from the state of Texas, where he is serving a 25-year sentence for scamming the elderly. He has prior felony convictions in California for residential and commercial burglary, grand theft, drunken driving and obtaining money by false pretense.
He faces a maximum possible sentence of 34 years in prison after his Texas commitment. Judge Russell Scott will sentence him Sept. 16.
