Ms Johnson, a retiree in her early 70s had paid Roger Guy Stowe $1,200 for new carpet which he never delivered. The detective who had been given the case, Michelle Dalton from the Phoenix Police Property Crimes Bureau felt the need to do as much as possible in this case and went well beyond her normal duties.
Detective Dalton contacted Angels On Patrol as well as members of the Maryvale Precinct Community Action squad to try to get some assistance for Charlie Mae. Soon, everyone was offering to pitch in and help, including several community members and businesses who donated carpet, paint and landscaping rock. “The word got out. People came together. Businesses came together. And today we’re going to do a great thing for Charlie Mae,” Officer Jeff Holmes tells us.
Very early Thursday morning, dozens of volunteers showed up, ready to work. They spent hours painting Charlie Mae’s house, installing new carpet and laying rock in her front yard. Johnson was overwhelmed with gratitude. “I’m very happy this morning. Very happy,” she says. “I got scammed but look what I got.”
“Greens Keeper was very happy to be part of the effort to help out Charlie Mae”, said Kent Jones owner. “We are part of the community and are always looking for ways to help where we can.”
Phoenix detectives warn that a scam like this can happen to anyone. Your best bet is to always go with a contractor with a good reputation. And never pay all the money up front. “We always say find a licensed contractor, someone that we can verify is a good business person as well as someone who’s got the skills to do what you’re looking for,” Officer Holmes states.
