American Iron Works colleagues remember a hard-working, caring boss who liked to hang out with welders and construction workers on the job. According to Wints family, one of them was Daron Wint. They were friends, Wints sister Samantha says. His first defense attorneys said the friendship lasted past the time Wint worked for Savopoulos and that Wint also did some work at the Savopoulos mansion.
The two men would have made for an unlikely pair... Its safe to say Wint had trouble with his family. In 2005, his father took out a protective order against him, according to documents in Prince Georges County District Court. Wints rap sheet includes arrests for a stabbing and assault as well as restraining orders from women...
In 2010, police arrested Wint outside American Iron Works in possession of a BB gun and a two-foot-long machete. He pleaded guilty to possessing an open container of alcohol.
Though Wint stopped working for Savopouloss company in 2005, his first defense attorney and Wints sister say the two men were still friends...At least one neighbor reported seeing Wint occasionally walking on Woodland Drive toward the Savopoulos mansion.
