The NOPD has obtained arrest warrants for Clarence A. Harrell (pictured at left, black male, DOB: 10-12-1971) and Conrad White (pictured at right, black male, DOB; 03-16-1959) in the investigation of a contractor fraud incident.

Through investigation, NOPD White Collar Crimes Unit detectives determined that on July 30, 2020, Harrell allegedly entered a contract for home renovation without the proper licensing from the State of Louisiana, presenting a reportedly forged and altered contract to the city to obtain a permit. White, who was hired by Harrell to complete the work, allegedly cashed three checks – totaling more than $19,000 – made out to the victim and to Harrell’s company without authorization from either party. The work on the residence was then left uncompleted.

Warrants were issued for the arrest of both Harrell and White regarding this investigation. Harrell is wanted on charges of residential contractor fraud over $25,000, filing false public records and for forgery. White is wanted for residential contractor fraud over $25.000.

All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Anyone with additional information on the whereabouts of either wanted suspect is urged to contact NOPD White Collar Crimes Unit detectives at 504-658-5334. Those wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
