FLOYD CO. – On Friday, September 29, 2023, Tracy and Matthew Davenport, owners of Davenport Extreme Pools and Spas in Louisville, Kentucky, turned themselves into the Floyd County Jail on warrants issued for their arrest following an investigation by a Detective with the Indiana State Police Special Investigations Section. The charges and dollar amounts practically mirror those of the Clark County charges the couple was arrested on earlier last week.
In July of this year, the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office contacted Detective Tim Denby about an ongoing investigation into Davenport Extreme Pools after discovering additional victims in Clark County. The cases involved victims paying the Davenports to construct private pools that were never built. Davenport Extreme Pools filed for bankruptcy shortly after signing contracts and receiving the payments.
Detective Denby assumed the investigation in Clark County but also learned of victims in Floyd County, Indiana. Detective Denby contacted four separate victims in Floyd County, and in each situation, the victims had paid Davenport Extreme Pools large down payments to construct inground pools. After completing the Floyd County investigation, Detective Denby determined that, in total, the victims paid almost $246000 to Davenport Extreme Pools and Spas during 2021 and 2022. As in the Clark County case, construction work has yet to begin in any of the cases.
After completing his investigation, Detective Denby turned his findings over to the Floyd County Prosecutor’s Office. On September 29, 2023, Both Tracy and Matthew Davenport turned themselves into the Floyd County Jail for the following charges:
- Corrupt Business Influence (2 counts) – Level 5 Felony
- Theft (3 counts) – Level 5 Felony
- Fraud (3 counts) – Level 5 Felony
- Theft (1 count) – Level 6 Felony
- Fraud (1 count) – Level 6 Felony
Tracy Davenport was released on a $20,000 bond, while Matthew Davenport was released on a $10,000 bond. This investigation is ongoing. Any Indiana resident who believes they may have been a victim associated with this case is encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police in Sellersburg.
