Three men were arrested after being accused of scamming an elderly Armuchee woman out of $118,000 according to Floyd County Police.

Police say that the three men performed some tree work for the woman, but never completed any of the jobs that they started and were paid for.  The three  men were staying at a campsite not far from the elderly woman’s residence in a remote area near John’s Mountain.

Robert John Criswell, 39, of Lindale; Kyle Dewayne Dover, 28, of Cedartown; and Hunter Chase Hammitt, 23, of Kingston have been charged with exploitation of the elderly and theft by deception. Hammitt is also charged with violating the terms of his probation.

Floyd County Police say that the elderly woman gave the men 33 checks in all for work that was never completed.
