Karl here and his nephew were offering to paint a home for the victim and when the homeowner declined they sprayed the roof and billed the victim $5,000.
According to reports, a short time later, Cooper threatened to put a lien against the victim's home unless he paid up.
Investigators say the elderly man ended up paying over $10,000 to Joseph Cooper and his uncle, Karl Cooper, 43.
Joseph Cooper has been charged with extortion and three counts of theft of assets from an aged person. He is in the Assumption Parish Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.
