Clark County Home Improvement Investigation Results in Felony Charges

A months‑long investigation by the Indiana State Police Sellersburg Post has resulted in multiple felony fraud and theft charges against a Jeffersonville man following a residential construction complaint in Clark County.

The investigation began on Jan. 21, 2026, after Detective Travis Baker received information regarding a significant payment made for a home improvement project that was not completed.

 

Throughout the course of the investigation, Detective Baker conducted interviews, reviewed documents, and examined financial records related to the project.

 

The completed case was then forwarded to the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

According to the investigation, the complainants hired the suspect, operating as C & K Improvements, for a residential construction project in July 2025.

 

Detective Baker learned the complainants paid approximately $55,000, but the project remained largely unfinished.

Following review of the case, the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office filed the following charges against Christopher D. Thompson, 48, of Jeffersonville:
• Fraud, Level 5 felony (4 counts)
• Theft, Level 5 felony (2 counts)
• Fraud, Level 6 felony (2 counts)

Thompson was later booked into the Clark County Jail.

Anyone who believes they have had similar dealings with the suspect is encouraged to contact Detective Travis Baker at the Indiana State Police Sellersburg Post at 812‑248‑4374.

The investigation remains ongoing.
