Brandon Keith Franklin, 49, and his unfinished work at a St. Johns County home.“We were wanting to upgrade our outdoor area. We wanted an outdoor summer kitchen that was covered and also a fireplace and all of this covered in an enclosure,” Scott told News4JAX on Tuesday.
In September, Scott said Franklin told her he needed 20% of the total cost of the project to buy the materials, about $29,000. Renderings show the brand new outdoor kitchen and sitting area that Courtney Scott thought she was going to get. “I knew at that point that we were in big trouble. We had given him a large sum of money. I knew that that money was probably already gone,” Scott said.
