In Wake County, North Carolina, WTVD-TV Channel 11 reports:
  • A contractor accused of ripping off a homeowner after Hurricane Matthew is facing criminal charges.

    Michael Mandale Williams is behind bars and charged with obtaining property under false pretenses. His arrest comes after a Troubleshooter report in November 2016.

    Garner homeowner Cassetta Scott is out $2,800 after paying Williams in full to take down several trees in her yard after Hurricane Matthew.

    Despite several promises from Williams, the job was never done and her money was not returned.
