An area mobile home contractor is being charged for fraud.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that his office filed charges against 56-year-old Bobby Justice for allegedly defrauding consumers in connection with his business, Bobby’s Mobile Transport.

Justice faces two counts of deceptive business practices and two counts of stealing for defrauding consumers and financially exploiting elderly Missourians in both Cooper and Howard Counties.

The charges allege that Justice’s business falsely promised to transport mobile homes for consumers in exchange for upfront payments. Once paid, Justice abandoned the projects after failing to complete the promised services for each consumer.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Steven Reed and investigator Chris Caudle. Consumers who believe they may have been scammed by a contractor should file a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office by calling the Consumer Protection hotline at (800) 392-8222 or by submitting a complaint online at ago.mo.gov.
