“A contractor’s license is not just a piece of paper,” Temple said in a statement.

Two days after contractor Jon Andersen’s arrest in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple announced Friday that his office issued a cease-and-desist order against Andersen, alleging he falsified documents while attempting to obtain a new license.

Temple issued the order after alleging Andersen and his New Orleans-based company, Andersen Design + Build LLC, violated state insurance and unfair trade practice laws “when he doctored inspection records to apply for a new license while his current license was revoked.”
