SOUTH BRISTOL — The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a man they believe bilked a 99-year-old resident out of $2,700 for tree work that wasn’t performed.
The victim told authorities that three young men showed up at the house in South Bristol and said they were working for the state nearby and offered to cut down six trees. Instead they cut two branches and gave the resident a bill for $2,700.
