BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. Two Baldwin County residents and business owners were indicted by a grand jury this week on multiple felony charges
The charges handed down accuse Angel McNider, 54, and John McNider, 56, of a combined eight counts of financial exploitation of the elderly.
The pair are the owners of Southern Justice Marine & Sales LLC in Orange Beach.
According to law enforcement, the pair scammed six victims in amounts that were more than $2500, which makes each charge a felony.
Both defendants have also been sued in civil court.
John McNider also faces two counts of first-degree theft of property. Angel McNider faces one.
In complaints filed in May, two customers say they paid deposits in December 2025 to have boat lifts built but the work was never done and their deposits were never returned.
In one case it was $10,000 and the second complainant stated they gave the company $14,000.
In another criminal case, John and Angel McNider were arrested for electronic stalking after a device was placed on the property of a former Southern Justice Marine & Sales employee.
The McNiders have been released from the Baldwin County Jail, and they have an arraignment scheduled for January 20, 2026.
