A Fairfield man has been sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to aggravated home repair fraud in Wayne County Circuit Court.
54-year-old Charles E. West appeared in Wayne County Circuit Court Tuesday in connection with a 2025 criminal case.
According to court records, West pleaded guilty September 8th to one count of aggravated home repair fraud, a Class 2 felony. As part of the sentence, West was also given a 180-day jail term, which was stayed. He received credit for five days previously served.
The court ordered West to pay $179,837.69 in restitution to 5 victims in the case, along with additional court costs.
Additional conditions of his probation include maintaining employment, completing programs as directed by the Wayne County Probation Department, and submitting to drug testing and searches as required under the probation order.
