Louisville, KY — A federal grand jury in Louisville returned an indictment on July 16, 2025, charging a Louisville woman with engaging in a scheme to defraud customers of her pool installation business, Davenport Extreme Pools and Spas Inc.
U.S. Attorney Kyle G. Bumgarner of the Western District of Kentucky, Special Agent in Charge Karen Wingerd of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations, Cincinnati Field Office, and Acting Special Agent in Charge Olivia Olson of the FBI Louisville Field Office, made the announcement.
According to the indictment, Tracy Davenport, was charged with 13 counts of wire fraud, 5 counts of money laundering, and 1 count of bankruptcy fraud. The indictment alleges Tracy Davenport, and others working at her direction, engaged in a scheme to induce customers into signing a contract for a pool installation and paying a large down payment up front. Tracy Davenport then used those funds for purposes other than what was agreed upon.
The defendant will make her initial court appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky at a later date.
There is no parole in the federal system.
This case is being investigated by IRS-CI and the FBI, with assistance from the Louisville Metro Police Department, the Jefferson County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, and the United States Trustee’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicole Elver is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
