BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. ( WKRG ) — A Mobile County man has pled guilty and been sentenced to years of probation in Mobile and Baldwin Counties for scamming his customers out of thousands of dollars.
Jason Quinnelly, 41, of Semmes portrayed himself as a businessman but his victims call him a thief. This week he pled guilty to bilking some of those customers on both sides of the Bay out of more than $223,000.

“This is where the building was going to sit right here.” Two years ago, Carmen and Kenneth Tillman contacted Jason Quinnelly about building a metal storage shed. They paid him $7,500 upfront for plans and engineering.
“I had all the prep work done, that was another thousand and never heard anything,” Carmen Tillman said. “He wouldn’t return my phone calls, emails, nothing.”
They weren’t the only ones. Victims came forward in Mobile and Baldwin Counties all with similar stories about how Quinnelly took their money but never did the work.
