Warrant issued for Oklahoma City man in home remodeling case

NEWKIRK — A warrant is issued by the Kay County District Court for an Oklahoma City man charged with felony value-false pretense, bogus check-con game.

Tonkawa police reports that a resident hired Jihurenn (David) Ramirez Altamirano, 28, Oklahoma City, to do work on her home including installing a five-ton central heat and air unit. 

Instead a four-ton unit was reportedly installed and other projects have not been done.

Police report that  on April 28, Carol Duckett said that she hired Altamirano who was with Pure Remodeling LLC to do work on her home that was damaged by fire in October of 2025.

She told police she paid for a five-ton A/C unit but received a four-ton unit.

She said that she paid $12,789 towards electrical work and that the work was not done but Altamirano reportedly cashed the check and the electrician received only $5,500.

Duckett reportedly told police that she paid $3,325 for windows and that seven windows are missing.

Police report that Duckett said she was $97,000 into what was supposed to be a six-month project and that nothing has been done.

She told police that when Operation Guardian was held, the workers disappeared for three weeks. Altamirano reportedly told her that his employees were too scared to travel. (see story)

Duckett told police that the back porch and roof project was done, but the the roof was still being held by two by four planks.

She reports multiple flaws in the work and she described the bathroom as “Ate up.”

Duckett fired Altamirano on April 5 after he walked off the job on March 27. Charges were filed on Aug. 28 and a warrant with bond endorsed at $10,000 is issued.
