Louisville couple who own Extreme Pool and Spa arrested for corrupt business influence

CLARK CO. – On Monday, September 25, 2023, Tracy and Matthew Davenport, owners of Davenport Extreme Pools and Spas in Louisville, Kentucky, turned themselves into the Clark County Jail on warrants issued for their arrest following an investigation by a detective with the Indiana State Police Special Investigations Section.  

In July of this year, the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office contacted Detective Tim Denby about an ongoing investigation into Davenport Extreme Pools after discovering additional victims in Clark County. The cases involved victims paying the Davenports to construct private pools that were never built. Davenport Extreme Pools filed for bankruptcy shortly after signing contracts and receiving the payments.

Detective Denby assumed the investigation and contacted four separate victims in Clark County. In each situation, the victims had paid Davenport Extreme Pools large down payments to construct inground pools. After completing his investigation, Detective Denby determined that, in total, the victims paid over $245,000 to Davenport Extreme Pools and Spas during 2021 and 2022. Construction work has yet to begin in any of the cases.  

After completing his investigation, Detective Denby turned his findings over to the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office. On September 25, 2023, Clark County Circuit Court issued arrest warrants for both Tracy and Matthew Davenport for the following charges: 

  1. Corrupt Business Influence (2 counts) – Level 5 Felony 
  2. Theft (3 counts) – Level 5 Felony 
  3. Fraud (3 counts) – Level 5 Felony
  4. Theft (1 count) – Level 6 Felony 
  5. Fraud (1 count) – Level 6 Felony 

This investigation is ongoing. Any Indiana resident who believes they may have been a victim associated with this case is encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police in Sellersburg.
