Charged with a slew of offenses related to unfinished Superstorm Sandy-related construction work, a contractor who authorities accuse of committing fraud upon multiple local residents is now a fugitive in the south, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Jamie Lynn Lawson, age 42, a Super Storm Sandy contractor wanted for fraudulent activity by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s office, has been a fugitive since Dec. 14, 2016. He is currently under indictment for theft and money laundering related to 14 victims of contractor fraud totaling $480,000.<\/p>\n

The Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office will be superseding that indictment to include 34 victims totaling approximately $1.5 million, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office. Its alleged Lawson took money from the 34 homeowners in Ocean and Monmouth Counties and then did either no work or less than contracted services on their homes, prosecutor’s say. He allegedly used the money for vehicles and personal expenses.<\/p>\n

Lawson is believed to have been in the following areas since December of 2016:<\/p>\n
