A 41-year-old Hernando County man is being sought on warrants alleging two levels of organized fraud and contracting without a license. The sheriff’s office says Luke Aaron Frazier is listed as having no bond.

The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office identified Frazier in a Monday warrant bulletin that lists organized fraud involving $20,000 to less than $50,000, organized fraud involving $50,000 or more, and contracting without a license. The post gives his date of birth as February 28, 1985, and describes him as 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 220 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Deputies Warn Residents Not To Approach

The sheriff’s local warrants page says people with information should not take action on their own and should instead call the agency’s non-emergency line at (352) 754-6830. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Hernando County Crime Stoppers at 1-866-990-8477, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.

The bulletin does not identify the alleged victims, projects, transactions, or dates tied to the warrants. It also does not say whether Frazier has been arrested on the current warrants.

The sheriff’s office has been using the recurring “Manhunt Monday” format to spotlight people with active warrants. Hoodline previously covered an earlier Manhunt Monday alert involving a different Hernando County suspect.

What The Fraud And Contracting Charges Mean

Under Florida’s organized fraud statute, property obtained through one scheme is aggregated when determining the offense level. An alleged total of $20,000 to less than $50,000 is classified as a second-degree felony, while $50,000 or more is classified as a first-degree felony.

Florida law also generally makes acting as a contractor without required registration or certification a first-degree misdemeanor for a first violation, with a later violation becoming a third-degree felony under the unlicensed-contracting statute. The warrant categories alone do not explain how prosecutors calculated the alleged losses or what construction work is at issue.

Frazier Has Appeared In Earlier Hernando Records

A public booking page maintained by the sheriff’s office shows Frazier was booked in September 2024 on a fraud count involving $50,000 or more and numerous counts of engaging in contracting without certification. The page lists a release the following day and warns that booking information does not establish a person’s criminal record, charging outcome, or guilt, according to the Hernando County detention records.

Frazier also appeared in an older Hernando County organized-fraud case. A 2012 sheriff’s office release said he had represented himself as the owner of a property, collected rent, and used a disputed quitclaim deed; a 2014 opinion from Florida’s Fifth District Court of Appeal said a jury had found him guilty of organized fraud and upheld a judgment restoring the property to its owner.

Authorities have not announced an arrest in the current warrant alert, and the sheriff’s post provides no timeline for the alleged conduct. Frazier remains presumed innocent unless and until the current allegations are resolved in court.
