Connecticut Contractor Charged With Fraud; Home In Ruins

Hartford, Connecticut TV station WFSB Channel 3 reports on contractor John Nelson, who took over $40,000 to repair the home of a Bantam, Connecticut couple, but never performed the work. The home is now in ruins, as Channel 3 I-Team reporter Eric Parker reported that all that remains of the couple's home are about half-a-dozen beams. Nelson has now been charged in another incident with a different homeowner in a neighboring town for taking money for home improvements and not doing the work.
