Breaching a contract isn't a crime unless you intended to breach it all along (in which case you would be guilty of fraud). That doesn't sound like what happened. The police probably will see things the way I do, but they will have heard his version of events and not yours.
You do still owe him the money, though. The fact that you didn't sign anything does not mean you are free to short-change him, even if you did the best you could to pay him back.
