Giles County deputies arrest couple for connection to fraud scheme targeting home contractors
GILES COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A couple is accused of using fake names to hire multiple contractors and not paying them after doing their jobs. According to the Giles County Sheriff's Office, Nicholas Barnes and his wife, Ashley, were arrested Wednesday night and charged with theft of services and criminal conspiracy. 'I'm aware of at least three contractors who did the work for Nicholas Barnes and his wife, Ashley Barnes,' Investigator Steve Almada with the GCSO. 'Since the work was completed none of them has been paid for any of their services.' Man robbed of $30K Rolex after meeting woman on Broadway, police say According to Almada, the couple is building a home in Giles County and has failed to pay at least three contractors approximately $60,000. 'From what I'm told, there are additional contractors involved with them, to date, that have not been paid for their services either,' Almada added. Nicholas Barnes—who sometimes uses the alias John Fritz—is reportedly wanted for similar crimes in New York. 'You're telling me they are building a house on property they do not own?' asked News 2's Andy Cordan. 'That is highly irregular.' 'That is correct,' replied Almada. Man breaks into Hendersonville store, gets injured in shootout with owner: police According to the Davidson County Clerk's Office, the couple was indicted in 2024 for charges of theft over $60-$250,000. News 2 spoke Contrast Cine, a Nashville company that rents film equipment specializing in cameras and lenses. One of the managers reported they remember the Barnes' renting five expensive lenses and then later claiming that the lenses were lost. According to the manager, the lens were used, but to replace them would cost about $90,000. 'There appears to be fraudulent activity going on with some of the automobiles they own,' Almada added. Investigators in Giles County told News 2 that Nicholas was known to drive an exclusive Audi R8, which also raised red flags. 'The take away I believe is that they are involved in fraudulent activity, and they are victimizing quite a few people and I want to make sure they are brought to justice for all the people they are victimizing,' Almada concluded. GCSO investigators urge anyone who has had any dealings with Ashley or Nicholas to contact the Giles County Sheriff's Office. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ileana Garcia broke with Republicans on immigration. Will the choice haunt her?
Reports of immigration enforcement agents visiting Miami immigration court and a Pensacola foster home caused one Republican state senator to draw her line in the sand. In a time when breaking with the party can have major consequences, it's not clear if she will face retribution or be the one to turn the tide. State Sen. Ileana Garcia called deportation efforts in South Florida 'inhumane' and 'not what we voted for' last week — a position that few Republicans have vocalized. U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, another Miami Republican, who posted on X that she was 'heartbroken by the uncertainty' her constituents were facing when it comes to immigration enforcement, is among the few to speak out. There has been little indication of support for their statements — but no public backlash from elected officials yet, either. Both Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump are known for clapping back at signs of defiance within party ranks, but so far neither has mentioned Garcia's break. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended the Trump administration's deportation policies when asked about Garcia's post but did not reference nor criticize the senator herself. 'Trump should urge both parties to put aside politics and craft policies that genuinely address the needs of those seeking freedom and opportunity,' Garcia wrote in a text message to The Herald. 'Visas, work permits, residency. We need authentic policy writers, not those catering to special interests.' A daughter of Cuban exiles, Garcia had been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, co-founding the group Latinas for Trump and serving as a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson during his first term. However, she's recently become a vocal critic of Trump aide Stephen Miller, credited with many of the administration's current immigration policies. Calls for 3,000 immigration arrests a day and talk of deportation quotas have frustrated Garcia, she said, as ICE agents begin to seek out those who have not committed crimes. In late May, Miami Herald reporters witnessed at least four ICE arrests when people came out of their immigration court proceedings. Earlier this week, ICE detained a 17-year-old Florida foster child, possibly breaking a previous Department of Children and Families rule that staffers are not allowed to turn children over to immigration enforcement. 'I understand the importance of deporting criminal aliens,' Garcia wrote in the post on X, 'but what we are witnessing are arbitrary measures to hunt down people who are complying with their immigration hearings — in many cases, with credible fear of persecution claims — all driven by a Miller-like desire to satisfy a self-fabricated deportation goal.' 'People voted for this' State Sen. Joe Gruters, a Sarasota Republican who took the lead on immigration legislation at the beginning of the year, defends ICE's latest actions. He challenged the idea that Trump supporters did not expect this, writing 'people voted for this' in a text message to the Herald. 'If there is a detainer order out on these individuals then they should be taken into custody immediately,' Gruters wrote. 'Same thing happens in criminal court, if you are guilty then they detain people immediately. We should not have two different standards.' When asked whether Garcia's stance will affect her politically, he said that Trump was elected largely because of his immigration crackdown promises. Others don't believe she'll face repercussions. As the Trump administration's actions target hundreds of thousands of people in the Miami area, namely Venezuelans, Haitians and Cubans, officials from the local and state level are feeling the pressure, said Juan Zapata, a former Republican state representative and former Miami-Dade County commissioner. Zapata has worked with Garcia before, when the legislature was passing its first package of laws targeting undocumented immigrants in 2023. At the time, she was 'very gung ho' about cracking down on illegal immigration during the Biden administration, Zapata said. But with the flurry of Trump's executive orders, such as removing Temporary Protective Status for Venezuelans, communities in districts like Garcia's are in upheaval. 'I think she finally realized that these kinds of actions are very disruptive to the community, to families, the way it's done,' Zapata said. 'Not everybody's a criminal. So there's this environment now that's been created that if you're here and undocumented, you're a criminal. And she realized it's just too much.' 'An independent thinker' Zapata doesn't think the Republican Party of Florida will retaliate by sending Garcia an opponent in the 2026 primaries, he said. (Republican Party of Florida Chair Evan Power did not respond to a request for comment.) 'What's happening now is that this broad policy of 'let's get rid of everybody who came in here illegally,' you're starting to see the local impact and the fear that it's created,' he said. 'And it's gotten to a point where people start to feel it. And by people, I mean people in elected positions.' Still, he said he thinks it's unlikely anyone else will follow her lead. On the other side of the aisle, Florida Democrats have been pleased to see Garcia's posts. For state Sen. Shevrin Jones, a Miami Gardens Democrat, they didn't come as a shock — to him, she's always been 'an independent thinker,' he said. 'Hell yeah, Ileana Garcia,' said Jones. 'I'll be the first to say I'm with you when you're right and I'll call you out when you're wrong. In this instance, she's right. I stand with her.' Currently, Miami's GOP delegation in Washington, D.C., made up of representatives Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Gimenez and Mario Diaz-Balart, are in talks to schedule a meeting with Trump's Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem. It is unclear whether they are still planning to meet before the end of the week.
