Commonwealth v. Cottrell update

Here's the Criminal Docket of the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County as the DA prepares for trial of crooked contractor Vincent Cottrell for this thefts from a family who paid him for a home renovation project he abandoned after taking the money.

Anthony Scanlon will be the judge.

Pre-trial conference is scheduled for May 9.

Cottrell is charged with:

1. Receives Advance Payment for Services and Fails to Perform
2. Theft by Unlawful Taking - Movable Property
3. Receiving Stolen Property

In that case, Cottrell is no longer charged with Thefts by Deception or Identify Theft.   Do prosecutors now believe Cottrell was cooperating with other contractors and contractor entities rather than misrepresenting them?

Cottrell has a long prior record of theft charges in Delaware County, Montgomery County and Philadelphia PA. Please note the court's summary page here does NOT include Cottrell's New Jersey convictions for which he served prison time.
