American Vision Auto owner Jessie Guadalupe Montes is accused of stealing over $100,000 from customers through his car restoration business. Court records show that he collected money for work that was never performed or vehicles he did not own. He allegedly misrepresented his ability to sell and provide classic vehicles, leading to losses totaling approximately $105,000 for the victims involved.
This is not the first time Montes has been charged with similar crimes. He currently has a pending case in Lake Charles, LA for similar actions, and has a history of theft charges in Fayette, Austin, and Waller Counties.
