Going to Jail and need advice!

I have two rehabs going on side by side. My main contractor doesn't have the resources to complete both projects at the same time. This forced me to hire a second guy. Initial conversations went really well. He was a a retired marine looking for work. His bid was fair and then further reduced because I allowed him to stay at the property during the rehab. This was a very extensive job with water damage. A month and a half into the project now and I have been pleased with his work. However, today i get a phone call from my other guy next door and he informs me that the new guy had been arrested for stealing from Lowes. He was able to get this information because of his relationship with the pro-desk.  As of this evening the new guy was back at the property working. My question is, do I let him complete the work up to the level he has been paid and then fire him? fire him now and take the hit? Or let him finish the job in its entirety?
