WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Tommy Edward Clack on four felony fraud charges.

Clack claimed he could fix the cracks in the driveway of an elderly New Hanover County resident for $50 dollars.

After he completed the job he gave her an invoice for $19,000 which the woman paid.

Sheriff’s Office Detectives investigated the case and arrested Clack for fraud and exploitation of the elderly.

In 2010 Clack was banned by a judge to operate in North Carolina for unacceptable paving work.

Clack has been convicted of multiple state criminal violations in North Carolina, Maryland, South Carolina and Florida.
