Pool contractor pleads guilty after allegedly stealing more than 1.7 million from more than 40 customers

On a hot, sticky, Texas day in Montgomery County, instead of swimming in the new pool she paid tens of thousands of dollars for, Jacquelyn Hieber sweeps up the debris around this ugly, stinking, cement hole that’s now in her backyard.

“Resting on the ground is rebar, broken pipes and mosquitos everywhere. It’s a mess,” Jacquelyn said.

Russell and Beth Desilletts paid the same man more than $54,000 for a dream pool that also turned into a disaster. Now, more than a year later, Nancy Hebert with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the pool contractor for taking a total of $1.7 million from more than 40 of his customers.
