Vermont Contractor Faces Workers’ Compensation Fraud Charge

Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 1 for a Vermont contractor who has pleaded guilty to operating without workers’ compensation insurance.

Prosecutors say Donald Bevins, of Williston, doing business as Twin City Roofing and Around the Clock Property Maintenance, operated without the insurance and in violation of a state Department of Labor stop work order for several months last year.

During the time frame, two of his employees were seriously injured while working.

He pleaded guilty in Chittenden Superior Court under an agreement that dismissed two additional counts of failing to maintain insurance and two others of failing to abide by a stop work order.
