Builder nailed on worthless check charge

I had called the builder of our home, Kerr-Smith Homes and Land, a few weeks ago asking for the plans for our home so we could use them to finish a room in our upstairs. I called him again yesterday and left a message, but that was before I saw this:

Apex police charged John Banks Kerr, 35, of Raymond Street, with one count of felony worthless check, according to the warrant. The warrant says police think Kerr wrote a check for $137,963.32 to Guy C. Lee Building Materials on July 30, knowing that it would not clear.

Whoopsie. I suppose that’s why his website isn’t coming up now, either.

  1. How about the VP “debates”. It was more like parallel talking than an actual debate.

    Wouldn’t it be neat if the debates really were a formal debate. Think about seeing a candidate exhaust the sound bites and have to really delve into a subject.

  2. hmmm, you are right; but, there is a certain poetic feel to the non-sequitur.

    But, on this subject, we have been hiring workmen for various jobs on the house. Most of the time they ask for a deposit before ordering materials and scheduling the work. You have to worry that the deposit will just go away in the current business climate.
