On February 1, 2024, 21-year-old contractor Michael T. Marlett from Greenfield, NY, was arrested by Saratoga State Police. He faced charges of third-degree Grand Larceny and other Vehicle and Traffic Law violations. The arrest came after a complaint received by the State Police on January 25, 2024, from a Saratoga County resident.
The investigation showed that the victim had hired Marlett’s company, ATQ Contracting LLC., for a home remodeling project in Ballston, NY, in December 2023. The victim had paid Marlett a deposit of over $10,000. However, Marlett allegedly did not start the work as agreed in the contract and did not refund the deposit.
This led to accusations of theft against Marlett. He was arrested in Clifton Park, NY, and processed at SP Saratoga.
Marlett was arraigned at the Malta Town Court and released without bail, with the condition that he would return for future court proceedings.
