The suit alleges that Puckett, through his business StormAid Restoration LLC based in West Chester Twp. solicited homeowners after the tornadoes, promising to repair roof damage. Several homeowners reported that Puckett collected $213,569 from them but did not perform the work or only did minimal roof patching, according to a release from Yost.
After dark on Memorial Day 2019, 16 tornadoes touched down, causing devastation to homes and businesses in communities throughout the Dayton region.
“To exploit someone trying to keep a roof over their family’s heads takes an especially cruel con man,” Yost said. “I have a special place for these people – in front of a judge.”
The lawsuit accuses Puckett of violating the Consumer Sales Practice Act by accepting money for goods or services and not delivering them.
Yost filed a similar lawsuit in February against Robert T. Greene and his business, TK Home Improvement LLC, for soliciting homeowners, promising to repair their damaged homes and failing to do so. That lawsuit is ongoing.
