A warrant for breach of trust was served on a Westminster man this week. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office reports that 34-year-old Larry Eugene Price, Jr. was arrested for failing to perform work he was contract to do. Earlier this month, a deputy was contacted by the complainant regarding a contract that was written on March 16 for work that Price, Jr. was to do on a residence in Georgia. The contract was written and signed, according to the deputy, in Oconee County. The victim paid Price, Jr. around $5,000 for materials. The complainant contacted Price, Jr. at the end of May regarding the job but Price, Jr. made no contact with the victim after that. According to the arrest warrant, Price, Jr. converted around $4,617 of the money to his own use. He was released from the Oconee County Detention Center on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.
