WILTON, Conn. After working with Suffolk County Police in New York, the Wilton Police Department executed an arrest warrant for Christopher Tullon, in connection with a 2011 chimney sweep scam.
Tullon, 30, of Coram, N.Y., originally was arraigned June 24, 2011 for allegedly scamming of a 92-year-old Wilton man. When Tullon failed to arrive for his court date, a warrant for a felony failure to appear was issued by Wilton police.
The original charges were felony larceny, exploitation of the elderly, failing to obtain building permit and conducting home improvements without a certificate of registration, police said.
Suffolk police arrested Tullon and he was extradited to Connecticut for arraignment Feb. 29, where he failed to post a $10,000 bond.
