John Quick of Davie, Florida was arrested Thursday after he was accused of charging a 91-year-old man out of more than $1,000 for car repairs that were never completed, news sources report. Quick, 52, was booked into the Broward County Main Jail on charges of exploitation of the elderly, a charge he had been previously serving a 15-year probation period on, reports say. A judge set Quick's bond at $26,000 but ordered him to be held without bail for the probation violation. It is unclear whether Quick has hired an attorney.
According to reports, Quick was arrested on January 13, 2005 in Fort Lauderdale on a charge of exploiting the elderly for between $20,000 and $100,000. The details of the past arrest were not immediately available at press time. Sources say Quick had been serving a 15 years of probation on that charge prior to his most recent arrest.
In this latest incident, Quick reportedly approached a 91-year-old man who was stopped at a traffic light in Davie. Quick offered to perform repairs and bodywork on the man's vehicle, sources say. Quick and the victim later came to an agreement, and Quick charged the victim $825 for the work. Later on, Quick revisited the victim and charged $125, reports say. Sometime later, he charged the victim $165, sources allege. In the end, reports say Quick charged the victim but never completed the work he said he would perform.
