A New Orleans contractor accused of faking inspection documents across multiple parishes was rebooked on a slew of charges about a week after New Orleans police issued a “be on the lookout” alert.
Jon Andersen, 38, surrendered to authorities and was booked into Orleans Justice Center late Wednesday, jail records show. He appeared in magistrate court Thursday afternoon for his bond setting on 14 counts, including four of forgery, seven of filing false public records and three of online impersonation. Magistrate commissioner Jay Daniels set bond at $49,000.
An investigation by the Office of the Inspector General and the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors spurred the additional charges. Those offices turned their findings over to NOPD, who made the arrest.
