Police says 42-year-old Milan M. Gala turned himself in to the Acadia Parish jail just before noon on Tuesday.

Gala is accused of taking money from a resident and promising to build a fence. That fence work was never done. Police say that Gala was operating as Acadiana A1 Fence Company at the time of the fraud.

Police say Gala is believed to have committed similar crimes in other parishes.

He was arrested and booked on a charge of felony home improvement fraud.
