A Syracuse-based contractor must pay more than $66,000 to the customers he deceived after he was found guilty again of violating a court order.
Jason M. Briere was found in civil and criminal contempt Tuesday of a court order that barred him from running a home construction business without posting a $25,000 performance bond, state Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced Thursday. It marked the second time he has been fined this year.
Briere has repeatedly been accused of operating a dishonest business and defrauding customers.
