An elderly woman was defrauded out of $4,000 after a man claimed he would pave her driveway but then never showed up to do the work.
According to Sharon police, on Tuesday, Dec. 2, officers received a tip from a woman that the man was going door-to-door.
Through investigation, police discovered that the man was being investigated by multiple police departments in Massachusetts for the same scam.
The man was quickly identified as William “Bill” Pusateri of Dedham, who had 11 active arrest warrants.
Some of the business names he uses include Priority 1 Paving in Dedham and Best Price Paving in the Sharon area, and is working with others that have yet to be determined.
Pusateri was found in a motel room in Sharon and later taken into custody.
He was charged with theft of more than $250 from a disabled person over 60 years old.
