by Jeff Jones

MILLVILLE, DE — Jeremy Bowen, 44, of Millville, Delaware, was arrested on charges of home improvement fraud, announced the Delaware State Police. The arrest followed a complaint by a Dover resident regarding a contract with Delmarva Landscaping Solutions LLC.

In May 2022, the victim, a 72-year-old Dover man, entered into a contract with Bowen for the installation of an inground pool, a project estimated to take about five weeks. Despite paying $43,000, the work had not commenced, and the victim received no reimbursement. State Police secured an arrest warrant following their investigation.

Bowen surrendered to authorities at Troop 5 on March 13, 2024. He faces felony charges for home improvement fraud involving more than $1,500 where the victim is 62 years or older. After his arraignment by Justice of the Peace Court 2, Bowen was released on his own recognizance.
