An Oklahoma man has been charged with nine counts – including a felony – in a sweeping consumer fraud case that spans six Oklahoma counties. Nathan Gregory Wolter was booked into the Okmulgee County Jail on June 28, in connection with a series of home improvement scams. He has since bonded out.

Wolter face eight felony charges for violations of the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act and one felony charge for allegedly engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses. The charges were filed by Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond and are being prosecuted in Okmulgee County District Court under Case No. CF-2025-106.

According to the Attorney General’s filing, Wolter misrepresented services such as hail damage repairs, window and siding replacements and home remodeling projects to multiple homeowners. In each case, Wolter allegedly accepted down payments exceeding $500 and then failed to complete the agreed-upon work.

The incidents span from July 2023 to April 2024 and occurred in the following counties:

• Okmulgee

• Lincoln

• Tulsa (Multiple Incidents) • Muskogee

• McIntosh

• Ottawa In each instance, authorities allege that Wolter operated under the pretense of providing home repair services, accepted payment, and then failed to deliver. Prosecutors describe the activity as part of a coordinated scheme, and the felony count asserts that Wolter engaged in a pattern of criminal conduct across multiple counties in violation of Title 21, Section 425 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

• Counts 1-8: Each involves a separate incident of alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices under the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act (Title 15 O.S. §§ 753 and 761.1(E)). All are classified as misdemeanors.

• Count 9: A felony charge alleging a pattern of criminal offenses involving multiple counties and repeated violations of consumer protection laws.

Wolter was booked by the Okmulgee County Criminal Justice Authority on June 28.

Violations of the Consumer Protection Act may result in criminal penalties, restitution, and civil consequences. The felony charge for engaging in a pattern of offenses increases the potential sentencing significantly, as it reflects systemic behavior rather than isolated incidents.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond has prioritized consumer fraud prosecutions, particularly those involving home repair scams targeting vulnerable residents. His office continues to investigate and encourages additional victims to come forward.

The Attorney General’s Office reminds Oklahomans to exercise caution when hiring contractors, particularly for large-scale repairs or storm-related damage. Consumers should: • Verify contractor licensing and bonding.

• Request written contracts with clear timelines.

• Avoid paying large deposits upfront.

• Check references and file complaints with the AG’s office if fraud is suspected.

The Office also maintains an online complaint system and encourages residents to report questionable business practices.

Wolter’s initial court appearance date was June 30. Court records have not listed his next court appearance.
