Fence contractor facing theft charges in multiple cases

Prosecutors have brought two felony cases against a contractor accused of bilking county residents out of thousands of dollars for unfinished home improvement projects.

Steven Austin Quimby, 26, of Kalispell faces counts of theft in two cases pending in Flathead County District Court for work he allegedly was paid to undertake in 2023. 

Charged in the first case in August, he pleaded not guilty before Judge Amy Eddy at his Oct. 5 arraignment. Prosecutors brought the second felony theft case against him in November. An arraignment in that case remains unscheduled.
