An East Huntingdon contractor is charged with three counts of home improvement fraud, accused of accepting more than $41,000 in down payments for three remodeling jobs he never started, according to court documents.
Jason Ray Pirl, 40, who does business as Proline Painting, was arraigned on three felony charges filed by Westmoreland County detectives in connection with the alleged incidents that occurred in January, July and October 2020.
Pirl was arraigned and released on a recognizance bond pending a preliminary hearing May 11.
