A Danbury contractor has been charged by Brookfield Police with larceny.  Police were contacted over the summer by a Laurel Hill woman who said she and her husband wrote a more than $23,000 check to Paul Stock for an addition to their home.  The check was reportedly cashed, but no work was done by the 39-year old. 

According to the warrant, Stock said he was "fully licensed and insured" and had the woman sign a contract with C&R Contracting.  He repaired the house after a chimney fire earlier in the year, and converted a closet into a bathroom.  Permits were not filed for those projects. Stock was also charged with three counts of misrepresenting himself as a home improvement contractor.

He is due in court today. 

According to court records, Stock was charged by previously charged with violating home improvement contractor requirements and subsequently violation of probation in the case in Norwalk Superior Court.
