Who's Been In Your Wallet?
I'm sure you've all seen the "what's in your wallet" Capitol One commercials, but if you've had work done by this contractor in Hampshire County and the surrounding areas, you may be wondering "who's been in your wallet". Andrew Shane Mowery, 31, formerly of Capon Bridge, put the screws to several folks with his contracting company, Potomac Highland Builders, Inc. With a reputation for starting jobs and never finishing, Mowery's work must have run out some time last year when he skipped town with over several hundred thousand dollars in funds obtained from clients for work he was supposed to do or said he had already finished. He high-tailed it off to somewhere in New York to live the high life on the stolen money.
Well, folks, he's back and currently staying at the Hampshire County Hilton to wait for a pending bond hearing. With any luck, Magistrate Billmeyer or Timbrook will set his bail high enough as to prevent him from jumping bail once he's out. Listen up folks, if he does post bail, don't let yourself be another victim of the "who's been in your wallet" bandit. If he does hang around, he'll be up to his old tricks in no time.

***UPDATE*** Magistrate Billmeyer has set a $75,000 CASH ONLY bond for Mr. Mowery. Congratulations Magistrate Billmeyer on knowing a likely skip when you see one!
***UPDATE*** Bond was modified allowing a surety bond to be posted. A bonding company posted his $75,000 bond on Tuesday, August 21st. We've been keeping our eyes and ears open but haven't seen or heard from Mowery since his bond was posted. Wonder if he's skipped yet? Think about it.....what reason does he have to hang around Hampshire County? It's certainly not to clear his good name which is already mud in the area of contracting, and he ranks far from first on the top 500 list of fine, upstanding citizens in the county. Our sources tell us his path of destruction was a mile wide and every bit as deep. He's no better than any other common thief and should be punished as such. If anyone has any information which would help put Mowery where he belongs, contact the state police at (304) 822-3561 or the sheriff's department at (304) 822-3894. They can put you in touch with the investigating officer in charge of the case.
***UPDATE***Mowery was indicted on 6 counts of false pretenses on Tuesday, September 4th, by the grand jury.

My wife & I were some of the people this loser put the screws to. He misled us from the beginning & what work was completed was extremely shoddy. We fired him off the job site only to find out he milked us for over $90,000.00.. This boy is evil & intentionally is out to scam people. We have recovered just fine, but don't be next on his "scam parade." He is a person who can't make it in life like a real man so this is what he turns to.
Billmeyer did a good thing on this one. I heard first hand from other contractors some of the messes he left in his wake.
I retract my last statement about Magistrate Billmeyer. You can count on Mr. Mowery skipping again. I went to school with Billmeyer's grandson, apparently their stupidity is hereditary.
HEY MATT HOWARD (A.K.A.LOSER), JUST WANTED TO ADD AN UPDATE TO YOUR SLANDEROUS AND FALSIFIED BLOG. WHAT'S THAT,"DISMISSED ON ALL CHARGES!" SINCE YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS, MAYBE YOU SHOULD ADD THE TRUTH TO YOUR CHILDISH AND PATHETIC RANT. BEST I CAN DO FOR YOU, GROW UP AND GET A LIFE AND A REAL JOB. MAYBE THEN YOU CAN TALK YOUR LINE OF CRAP AND PLACE JUGGEMENT ON OTHERS.
ITS PRETTY SAD THAT YOU ARENT MAN ENOUGH TO ALLOW OTHERS TO PLACE THEIR COMMENTS WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL. REAL MATURE. PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE THE REAL THIEF...AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT YOUR DAY IS COMIN'!
