The News4JAX I-TEAM is getting a better understanding from the State Attorney’s Office about why they were unable to prosecute former Jacksonville contractor Wyatt Green on the 20 felony charges he once faced.

A former Jacksonville contractor at the center of a three-year News4Jax I-TEAM investigation – who at one time faced 20 felony charges of forgery, fraud, and grand theft -- has now been sentenced on a single misdemeanor charge after reaching a plea deal.

Nearly three years after the I-TEAM began investigating Jacksonville contractor Wyatt Green who was charged with felony fraud, forgery, and grand theft, his case has now ended with a plea deal that will keep him out of jail and without a felony conviction on his record.

Wyatt Green faces eight felony charges that could put him behind bars for years if he is convicted in a trial.

Wyatt Green, a Jacksonville contractor at the center of an I-TEAM investigation dating back to April 19, has pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud, forgery, and grand theft. If his attorneys don’t reach a deal with prosecutors, he will go on trial in the spring.

Green was originally arrested in April by insurance fraud investigators with Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis' office on three felony charges: organized fraud, forgery and grand theft. Because of that, they have filed additional grand theft charges. While he said nearly $5,000 was paid to Storm RS, no work has been done. After hiring Storm RS, Walsh said he learned later that the business merged with Rogero Roofing and Construction. At Friday's bond hearing for the 18 additional felony charges added against Green earlier this week, prosecutors wanted an additional $25,000 bond for each new victim named in their case.
