A Kyle man was arrested March 1 on warrants of theft ranging from $1,500 to $20,000 after he conned multiple victims in Hays and Travis counties for contract labor services he didn’t perform. 

Authorities arrested John Paul Vargas Jr. on a 2013 charge of theft of the elderly in Hays County, which is a third degree felony. Vargas was also arrested on three warrants of theft in Travis County, which were all state jail felonies.
