Man accused of a tree removal scam

Officials are warning of a scam involving tree removal in a Des Moines neighborhood. A woman says a man named Pat Williams came to the door and gave her his business card claiming he owned Family Tree Service out of Newton. He told her he wanted to pay $475 for the Walnut tree in her back yard. He chopped it down and she still hasn't seen her money. With recent media attention, the man says he'll try to resolve the matter today.
