Pool company owner pleads guilty on theft,and fraud charges

Dozens of victims paid to have pools installed

Floyd County Ind - The owner of a Louisville-area pool company accused of taking money from dozens of clients and never building pools, pleaded guilty in court in Floyd County on Monday.

Her charges in Floyd County include theft and corrupt business influence. 

Davenport is also 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, she was arrested last month in New Jersey on drug charges.

 One lawsuit alleges Davenport collected more than $5 million from about 60 families for swimming pools that were never installed.

She also has several active charges in Bullitt County.

Davenport will be sentenced next month.
