''Jeff Sample, the owner of Precision Lawn Service in Virginia, says he remembers Heuermann as a towering, aggressive architect from New York City.
"He was just arrogant, kind of the 'I'm better than you' kind of feeling," he says "He just seemed like a jerk."
Sample says he agreed to do landscaping work at the Palymra home of Heuermann's mother, Dolores.
"It was just to basically go clean up the yard because it was all overgrown and a mess, and I kind of remember him complaining. He had a big dumpster there, he asked us to throw some stuff in the dumpster and he didn't like the way we put it in," says Sample.
When the work was completed, Sample says he sent a bill to Heuermann in New York but never received payment.
"A month later still no payment. Another month later still no payment," he says. Sample took legal action and filed a civil suit in Virginia in January 2019.''
