A project manager who had been dismissed from a job at a Harbor Lane house was interviewed by police after he returned to the house to retrieve a Ridgid shop vacuum from the work site last Thursday. Linda Evanson, who lives next door to her mother’s house, where the work was being done, went over to find out why the man had returned to the property and got into an argument with him. The ex-employee also believed he was owed money from the project. Ms. Evanson told police that she simply wanted the man to stay away from the two properties. Police warned him not to return and told him he should go through civil court if he believes he is owed money. Arrangements were made to return his vacuum to him.
