Roofing Scam: Man Wanted In Lower Southampton

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON, PA — Police in Lower Southampton are on the lookout for a man they say used a phony name and ripped off a resident for $4,000 in a roofing scam.

The incident happened last year when police say the resident contracted a man who gave his name as Matthew Troutman to do some roofing work. The man claimed to be with a company called All Pro Roofing, which had been advertised on a flyer left at the victim's home.

The victim made what was supposed to be a partial payment of $4,000 after signing a contract and "Troutman" disappeared.

Now, police say they've received a tip that leads them to believe the man is really Michael Allen Keiner, 41. They've issued an arrest warrant for Keiner on charges of receiving stolen property and diversion of services.

He is described as a white male, standing about 5'10" and weighing about 165 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. Anyone who knows anything about Keiner's whereabouts is asked to call Lower Southampton Police at 215.357.1235.
