On Tuesday, we told you Penn Township police had a warrant for Christian Sheasley's arrest.

He's accused of taking more than $8,000 from young newlyweds, promising them a brand new kitchen but never coming back to do the work.

Shamus O’Donnell, one of the victims, said he doesn't know if he'll ever get his money back.

Channel 11 told him Sheasley not only filed for bankruptcy in October, he is facing criminal charges in two Allegheny County neighborhoods along with a civil complaint by a 74-year-old man who claims Sheasley took $12,000 from him.

Sheasley ignored our camera as he turned himself in on the Butler County charge.

Sheasley told the judge he will represent himself on this matter at his next court date in December.

He is facing at least two other criminal hearings in Allegheny County in December as well.

He told Channel 11 in an email he plans to pay back the victims saying, "Sometimes businesses just fail, no matter how much of your life and money you put into it."
