According to the Sheriff's Office:
Carter Lynn Chamlee, 40, of Calhoun, and Danny Ray Dutton, 53, of Adairsville, were arrested on charges of violation of probation in the Sonoraville/Farmville area Saturday afternoon.
The men were acting as contractors for debris cleanup and did not have permits to do so.
Deputies were assigned to the storm affected areas to check contractors for permits from the county. That's when they discovered Chamlee and Dutton had warrants out for their arrests.
Dutton paid a fine and was released. Chamlee remains in custody at the Gordon County Jail.
Dutton's photo is unavailable because he is no longer in the Gordon County Jail
State of emergency
Because Gordon County is under a state of emergency, law enforcement is still patrolling storm affected areas and checking permits, according to Gordon County EMA director Richard Cooper.
Cooper said contractors interested in debris clearing should register with the county. For more information call 706-629-2785.
Gordon County government advises residents with natural debris (no metal, shingles or other non-natural items) from last week?s storm to place debris on the right of way. The right of way is the first few feet from the property line. They ask that no debris be put on roads.
Gordon County Public Works Department will be stopping by storm affected areas and removing the natural debris.
Tips for hiring contractors from the National Center for the Prevention of Home Improvement Fraud
1. Before hiring a contractor, NCPHIF recommends residents to contact their insurance agent. This is especially important if the contractor is saying he will pay the deductible, won?t charge a deductible or will fill out the insurance paperwork.
2. Some roofing companies are known to use aggressive and misleading tactics in order to gain business. Pay attention to instincts. Is he or she pushy? Anxious?
3. Make sure to get his or her license and insurance information, but verify it. Contact the Georgia Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Division, 478-207-2440 and/or the Corporations Division, 404-656-2817 to verify.
4. Check in with the Better Business Bureau in Georgia as well as the BB in surrounding states.
5. Do an Internet search using the contractor?s business name, personal name, business license, contractor?s license, phone number, etc.
6. Do not agree to a discounted rate for allowing a home to be a ?demonstration site,? or because the contractor has leftover materials from a previous job. This is a big red flag for potentially fraudulent practices.
7. Do not leave valuables, sensitive, personal or financial information around that can be stolen and used to commit identity fraud.
8. Do not allow a contractor or a salesperson to push into an immediate contractual relationship, even if the work needs to be done without delay.
9. Find out what types of repair, renovation or construction projects the contractor performs. (Most contractors have specialties and do not work on every type of project.)
10. Don?t sign a document until all of the information in the document is understood. Contact a trusted adviser or attorney to review any document that needs a signature.
11. If a contractor is allowed to inspect a property for damage or repair, accompany them throughout their evaluation procedure.
