Contractor earns customized prison sentence
Alexander Pike Mitchell "has a history of contracting without a license"
The jail term for an asphalt contractor who's pled guilty to numerous felony counts continues to grow, according to an August 11 statement from the California Contractors State License Board.
In April 2013, the San Diego County DA issued a warrant for the arrest of Alexander Pike Mitchell, who "has a history of contracting without a license and abandoning jobs once he’s secured a down payment" in both San Diego and Riverside counties.
In June of 2013, Mitchell pled guilty to two counts of grand theft and was sentenced to two years in a county jail by a San Diego court, with an additional two years of supervised release. Shortly after that, a 40-month state prison sentence was added for "theft by false pretenses, operating without a contractor license with prior convictions, and a workers’ compensation insurance violation."
Last month, another three guilty pleas were entered by Mitchell for grand theft relating to jobs he'd collected money for, but never performed, in Riverside County. Another two years were tacked onto his sentence, bringing the total punishment to a term of nine years, four months.
License board officials are using the sentence to make consumers aware of widespread abuse of consumers, particularly the elderly, by unlicensed individuals purporting to be professional contractors. They're promoting a license check website and recommend vetting companies before placing a deposit or allowing work to begin.
