Santa Rosa Sheriff warns of contractor scam after arrest: NorthEscambia.com

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office has issued a public fraud alert for 34-year-old Aron Carrillo.

Carrillo was charged with grand theft, two counts of building without a license and failure to obtain building permits throughout the Florida Panhandle, Alabama and Louisiana. According to SRSO, he operated under the business name Tres Carrillos LLC.

Investigators said Carillo accepted $19,000 for a job that required a contractor’s license and an electrical license, but he also failed to obtain the necessary permits and inspections for the job. They said he caused an estimated $50,000 in damage to the home he worked on, including possible damage to support beams that are important to the home’s structural integrity.

Charges are pending in other Florida counties for similar incidents involving Carrillo.

Carrillo was arrested and is currently being held in the Gadsden County Jail awaiting extradition.

“We encourage anyone who previously worked for Aron Carrillo or Tres Carrillos LLC to contact the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office with information about their work,” the agency said.
