Villa Park police arrested a Woodridge man for spending money paid by an elderly man for a remodeling project that wasn't completed.

David L. Briggs, age 29, is charged with felony theft by deception (over $100,000) and felony theft by deception (victim over 60), according to Villa Park police.

The family of a 79-year-old Villa Park man contacted police in December about the financial exploitation. They reported that the elderly man came in contact with Briggs, who claimed to own a remodeling company called Intrella Industries, according to police.
