Contractor Accused Of Defrauding Blind Vet Caught

3780496WELD COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - Weld County Sheriff's deputies caught the man accused of scamming a blind veteran out of thousands of dollars.

David Garcia was arrested on Monday following CBS4's story on Friday.

Garcia posted a $10,000 bond and is no longer in jail.

Last December, Vern and Joyce Sorensen hired Garcia after he was recommended by remodeling company Home Wise to build a bedroom and bathroom in Sorensen's home.

The couple says Garcia took advantage of their situation and left them with hardly any work done and thousands of dollars in debt.

A GoFundMe page has now been established for the couple.
