COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Hartsburg contractor is wanted by authorities on two felony charges for allegedly taking $10,000 from a customer and not performing the work.

Ryan A. Gilmore was charged Tuesday with felony stealing and deceptive business practices. He was not in the Boone County Jail on Wednesday.

Gilmore, under the business name Cameo Construction, took $10,000 from an Ashland man in 2022 for roof replacement, according to a probable cause statement. Gilmore never completed the work and did not refund the money, the statement says.

The state is seeking a $10,000 cash-only bond.
