Moving business owner charged with grand theft

A local moving business owner has been charged with grand theft after being accused of taking thousands of dollars in payment and not showing up to perform the moving work.

The allegation

The case centers on payments made for moving services. The business owner is accused of accepting the money and then failing to appear for the job. The available account identifies the alleged loss as thousands of dollars but does not state a more exact amount.

The charge

Grand theft is the criminal charge in the case. A charge is an allegation, not a finding of guilt. The court process will give the defendant an opportunity to respond to the accusation.

What happens next

The case will proceed through the criminal court process. That process can include court hearings and decisions about how the case moves forward. The final outcome has not been established.
