UPDATE 2/2/08
Nitro Police say they captured Wallace Lee Jackson after receiving a tip from a WSAZ viewer.

Nitro police arrested alleged contractor scam artist Wallace Lee Jackson Saturday morning.

He's the owner of All-Pro Painting in St. Albans.

Detectives say he took an elderly man for hundreds of dollars -- and didn't do any work.

The victim found the business in the phone book.

We checked state records and Jackson's business All-Pro Painting does have a valid license.

Since we started this crime fighting segment three years ago, you have now helped catch 115 local fugitives.

ORIGINAL STORY
Police need your help to catch a man they say took advantage of a senior citizen.

The Charleston Police Department has named Wallace Lee Jackson one of Charleston's Most Wanted.

He's accused of scamming an 81-year old man out of 400 dollars.

Jackson owns a painting company called All-Pro Painting based in St. Albans.

Police say in October, Jackson cashed the victim's deposit check for a painting job, but never did the work. Detectives say the victim tried to get in touch with Jackson several times, but Jackson hasn't called him back.

The victim found the business, All-Pro Painting, in the phone book.

We checked with the state tax office and the business is licensed.

Call Detective Snodgrass at the Charleston Police Department at (304) 348-6480 if you have any information about Wallace Lee Jackson. His last known address is on Grant Avenue in St. Albans.

you scam artist, some of you are reading these stories and posted comments, the end for you is coming. . .

Posted by: Rick on Feb 3, 2008 at 06:53 AM
Jackson should have to do a quality paint job for the victim for free, as well as for anyone else he has scammed!! Then he should serve jail time.

Posted by: travis on Feb 3, 2008 at 03:39 AM
Good job. I hope you guys keep reporting criminals. Just wish we had a hotline for all the scandalous politicians that we have in our government and we could catch them spending our tax dollars on their own personal expenses. You know it's happening.

Posted by: maddi on Feb 3, 2008 at 02:22 AM
I'm glad someone snitched there needs to be more people doing it that way the streets will be clean of drug addicts, and other people that violate the law. So since you say stop snitching you must be someone that also does things that are illegal. Instead of saying stop snitch you should say more people need to be like that and tell the truth to help out since apparently you wouldn't do it.

Posted by: The Real Truth on Feb 2, 2008 at 10:56 PM
The Truth you need to shut your mouth is what is the truth. These people need to be arrested. Crime is no way of life. Your pathetic & and useless. Grow up and get a life . Get your lazy butts up and get a job and make money dont steal it from the elderly who are barely making it. that my friend is "THE TRUTH"
