A man who builds and repairs seawalls was ordered to pay about $35,000 to four of six people who complained he failed to start or complete work on their barriers along the Lake St. Clair shoreline.
Robert David Marshall received a delayed sentencing last month in Macomb County Circuit Court after he was charged with seven larceny offenses, five felonies and two misdemeanors, for failing to perform promised work on four projects in Harrison Township and two in St. Clair Shores.
He will have to pay $35,100 in restitution to four victims by Oct. 13, 2021, to have the felonies reduced to misdemeanors and likely avoid jail time, according to the ruling by Judge James Maceroni.
