Man suspected of contractor fraud

SLIDELL, La. (AP) — A Slidell contractor is suspected of taking money to perform concrete work for the Killona Fire Department and then disappearing without finishing the job.

The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/pjGoVR) reports that 64-year-old Phillip Livesay is wanted in St. Charles Parish for contractor fraud. The St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office says Livesay accepted a check for more than $6,000 but did very little work for the fire department before he disappeared.

Authorities say Livesay is wanted for similar crimes in Dorchester County, S.C., and Escambia County, Fla.
