The CEO and CFO of an Oklahoma City cabinet company are facing multiple felony charges following an investigation by Attorney General Gentner Drummond's office. The two executives are accused of defrauding customers out of more than $370,000.
Travis Morelock, 39, and Jason Grife, 40, who owned and operated Wilshire Cabinets, have been charged with six felony counts for violating the Consumer Protection Act through unfair and deceptive trade practices. These charges were filed earlier this month by the Attorney General's Consumer Advocacy Unit.
According to the charges, between July 2022 and March 2023, six victims paid a total of $374,048.75 for cabinets that were never delivered or installed. The defendants also failed to refund any money to the victims. In March 2023, Morelock and Grife abruptly closed their business without notifying clients.
"My office will not tolerate businesses that prey on consumers and then disappear with their hard-earned money," said Drummond. "We are committed to holding these individuals accountable and securing restitution for the victims who suffered financial harm."
The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit has received a total of 24 complaints against Wilshire Cabinets.
Each violation of the Consumer Protection Act could result in up to ten years imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. Additionally, the defendants may be required to pay full restitution to their victims.
