Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that a grand jury in Franklin County has returned charges against Daniel E. Harrison, 40, for allegedly defrauding consumers in connection with his business, Extreame Lawn and Landscape. Harrison faces three counts of Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Person and three counts of Deceptive Business Practices for defrauding consumers and financially exploiting Missourians in Franklin County.
“As Attorney General, I will always hold accountable those who target innocent Missourians,” said Attorney General Bailey. “We will continue to work around the clock to obtain justice for any Missourian who has been ripped off.”
The charges allege that between February of 2022 and August of 2022, Harrison’s business falsely promised to engage in home and business renovations for consumers in exchange for upfront payments. Once paid, Harrison either abandoned the projects after performing negligible work, or without completing any work or delivering any materials whatsoever.
The case is being prosecuted and investigated by the Attorney General’s Office.
