2 Arkansans accused of false disabled-vet claim
Indictment says they defrauded U.S.
By Linda Satter

Two men who operated DAV Construction in North Little Rock for several years are due in court Tuesday on allegations they falsely claimed the company was owned by a service-disabled veteran to collect more than $15.5 million in federal contracts.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported in August 2015 that agents from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General raided the heating-and-air business at 5440 Northshore Drive and carted away a van-load of boxes.

At the time, Ross Alan Hope, president of Powers of Arkansas -- which he said subcontracted with the construction company and shared office space with it -- called the raid a "total surprise."

Also on that day, Aug. 19, federal agents executed a search warrant at Kullander Construction at 7820 Cantrell Road in Little Rock -- a nondescript building close to a veterinary clinic and a tire store near the Foxcroft neighborhood.

Lengthy article; they were sure playing a scam allegedly. Somewhere they must have learned it.
