Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On September 22, 2020, Jamie Sullivan, owner of Mr. Fix It Garage Door, was arrested by the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the U.S. Marshalls and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office. Sullivan is the target of an investigation after Rankin County investigators received multiple reports that citizens paid for garage door installation and no work was ever done. The victims in these cases all paid for the materials and labor up front and when they tried to confront Sullivan he would offer excuses for a lengthy period of time before eventually cutting off all communication. The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office along with the Attorney General’s office continues to investigate the extent of his fraud.
Sullivan is currently in custody at the Rankin County Detention Center. District Attorney Bubba Bramlett will bring Sullivan before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance.

I guess he was actually Mr. F*** It Garage Door after all was said and done.
Hes done work at my house and multiple houses in our neighborhood. Sad he turned to this way of doing business. He was good.
Kingfish where is your disclaimer that these are only charges and Mr.Fix It is innocent until adjudicated in a court of law. You seem to put that on other types of alleged crimes.
Is this an "open and shut" case?
How about mr. lane? This guy is such a small fish compares to the Lane’s.
Would this not fall under civil action versus criminal?
The commenters on this site often show the hypocrisy of our world. If it is someone that we like, someone that could be a distant cousin, this is a civil action, not a criminal action, he is innocent until proven guilty, etc. Another post with a person who likely doesnt look like us, not from our community, and we talk about how they should be convicted and a heavy sentence handed.
What a whug
I mean rankin is doomed with crazy stealing lying whites people....
Sad
In case it was not apparent, Mr. Sullivan gored the wrong ox. Choose your victims carefully, Mr. Sullivan. Citizens with prime access to elected officials get quick action.
Embezzlement under contract?

Yup a black man steals a $400 TV from Walmart and he is chased at high speed until he is TIP'd and crashes and then shot 120 times by RCSO, Flowood PD, and Pearl PD.
White man defrauds fixed income elderly homeowners out of tens of thousands and it should be a "civil matter"
I see there truly is no double standard, no systemic racism, its just black folks shuckin and jivin'a
Perhaps he can explore the lucrative business of selling pine straw . . .
(once he he get's out of the jail cell).
Did they pay him before the work was done? That should never been done.
to 12:02...................there are 2 types of fraud in our legal system. civil fraud and criminal fraud. the first defense every criminal fraudster throws out on the table after being caught is ''THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BUSINESS DEAL GONE BAD and ITS A CIVIL MATER, NOT CRIMINAL.''
every criminal fraudster uses that for his first line of defense. ebbers, madoff, lamar adams, chris epps, the new family, the recent pine straw scam by the irish travelers, have and will all scream that this is nothing but a civil dispute.
the difference between criminal and civil fraud is that to prove a criminal fraud case you got to be able to prove that right from the outset , the fraudster intended to take the money and give back nothing or, next to nothing in return.

You're just plain wrong. Rankin county wouldn't waste that much ammo when 1 or 2 would do fine. And when was the last time you saw any body run from POPO with a garage door?
That didn't take long @3:08 to use the words du jour
Mississippi now has a legal definition of FRAUD & can prosecute? Not according to the prior Mississippi Attorney General, an Assistant Attorney General, a Proscutor in the Attorney General's office & a AG investigator. All in a meeting in Representative Terry Burton's office.
