LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police in Clark County, Indiana, have issued a warrant for the arrest of Tracy Davenport, the owner of a Louisville pool company for which she and her husband are the subject of multiple high-profile fraud and theft investigations.

Davenport is already charged in three cases in Clark County for corrupt business influence, theft and fraud. She and her husband, Matt, are accused of using Davenport Extreme Pools and Spas to take people's money for pools but never build them.

Prosecutors in Indiana said the couple may have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from several customers. According to court documents, the couple took more than $245,000 from four victims in Floyd County to build pools, dating back to 2021. But they never built anything. Prior to that, they turned themselves into the Clark County jail, charged with four counts of theft, four counts of fraud and two counts of corrupt business influence in Clark County — all felony charges.

In an unrelated case, Davenport was arrested earlier this month in Alpha Borough, New Jersey, on drugs charges.

According to a news release from James Pfeiffer, the Warren County prosecutor, Davenport was a passenger in a truck driven by Corey B. Young, 38, of Brooks, Kentucky. When New Jersey State Police conducted a commercial vehicle inspection on Route 78, police said they found 179 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $250,000. They also found a loaded handgun and a large capacity magazine. 

Prosecutors said because of Davenport's new charge while she was out on bond, they think she presents a danger to the community by repeatedly violating the law.

She faces a first-degree charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and a lesser fourth-degree possession charge.  Investigators say the two were in a pick-up truck carrying a trailer.

Lawsuits have also been filed against the company. One alleges Davenport spent customer money on "lavish vacations to Las Vegas, personal cosmetic surgeries, a six-figure recreational vehicle, and the purchase of an expensive pleasure cruising lake boat." One lawsuit alleges Davenport collected more than $5 million from about 60 families for swimming pools that were never installed.

Davenport's attorney who represents her in civil cases, Ken Henry, says Davenport is innocent until proven guilty and hasn't been convicted of any of the crimes. He says her civil cases are ongoing and there are extenuating circumstances that people don't realize and some of the customers breached their contracts.
