Police file additional fraud charges against Carmichaels man
State police on Monday filed a third set of charges against a Carmichaels man who is accused of defrauding dozens of customers.
Brian Roy Kozy, 41, faces felonies of deceptive business practices, receiving advance payment for services and failing to perform and theft by deception.
Previous criminal complaints had accused Kozy of using his Seal-Rite asphalt business to accept money from 15 people for work he never finished. The most recent charging documents describe two more alleged victims.
According to the complaint, Kozy stole $2,270 between the two customers. When contacted about the work, Kozy would say it could not be completed due to injury, sick relatives, broken equipment and needing special asphalt from Canada.
Two previous complaints accused Kozy of stealing $4,100 from customers.
Between the three cases Kozy now faces 47 charges related to his Seal-Right business.
Kozy was arraigned on the most recent charges Monday morning before District Judge Daniel Shimshock, who released him on $10,000 unsecured bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 11.
