Jan Buras, the president of JaRoy Construction, Inc. based in Kenner
was
arrested Thursday following an investigation that involved state and
local
agencies.


Buras is accused of failing to pay sub-contractors for work done for
public
and private organizations.

The arrest is the latest in a series of problems related to the
company.
Last year, the Louisiana Attorney General's office launched a
criminal probe
into JaRoy Construction's work on a St. Bernard Parish fire station.

The company was accused of shoddy work on the foundation of Station
Number 5
in Chalmette. A cease and desist order at one point stalled
construction on
that project, though work later resumed.

JaRoy Construction has been involved in a number of high-profile
projects,
according to the company's website. Among them: the refurbishing of
Lakefront Arena and a remodeling of the Aquarium of the Americas
Riverfront
Park.

The company is listed as accredited by the Better Business Bureau
since
January 2004 and has an "A" rating from that organization.
