Would you allow a convicted felon to keep working on a job?

We hired a tile contractor to redo some subway tile in our bathrooms this week that another contractor screwed up. Things were going okay, minus some delays (which seems impossible to avoid these days), until yesterday when he was a no show and didn't respond to calls or texts. I got a call from him at 2pm and he says he was in a small fender bender last night and when the police showed up apparently there was a warrant for his arrest for murder in Texas and he spent the night in jail. He claims someone stole his SSN and identity in Texas and his attorney cleared things up with the police and he was released from jail.

I googled his name and found an article -- apparently in 2021 he was convicted of stealing a safe from a condo he was working in. The safe had $90k in cash and $100k in coins that he tried to sell in Miami. Apparently he was convicted and sentenced to 2 years probation and 200 hours of community service.

He's set to start working again on Monday and we're trying to decide what to do. It's been really difficult finding a tiler who knows what they're doing and the GCs we've gotten quotes from have all been F you insane quotes. His work so far has been great and he clearly knows what he's doing which the prior contractor did not. His references were positive and photos of his tile work looks great. He’s also certified with the CTEF. Would you let him finish the job?
