Contractor arrested for theft 

A 57-year-old Miami, Florida man was arrested Thursday for stealing approximately $35,000 from a Key Colony Beach property owner.

Argelio Rivas was charged with grand theft.

The property owner hired Rivas to do deck work in 2022. Several checks were deposited by Rivas, however no work was ever performed.

The investigation showed Rivas never purchased supplies for the project, either. A warrant was issued for Rivas’ arrest, and he was booked into jail on Thursday.
