TROUP COUNTY, GA - Sheriff Donny Turner announces that an arrest has been made as a result of an alleged roofing scam. According to Troup County Investigators, the founder of HHC (Heavenly Hands for Christ) Shingling would solicit victims by placing various signs in specific neighborhoods advertizing “Free Roofing”.

As potential victims would call the business line attached to the signs, “Bishop” Regis Scarbrough, Sr. would advise them to file an insurance claim for the repair work to be done. An adjuster would then be dispatched to assess the damages and, in turn, send a check to the victims in order for the repairs to be made.
