Olympus Pools owner turns himself in, will face felony charges

Olympus Pools owner James Staten turned himself into authorities in Pasco County today. He is facing felony charges related to the now-defunct luxury pool-building company. I-Team investigator Jackie Callaway has been reporting on Olympus Pools for more than two years after homeowners began complaining that they had paid Staten tens of thousands of dollars, but he failed to finish the work. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in partnership with the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office and the Attorney General today announced 34 criminal counts against Staten. The pending charges include aggravated white-collar crime, organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, and contractor fraud.
