PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - Portsmouth’s “Teepee Man” has spent two nights in a motel thanks to the generosity of another man and a newspaper as he waits for a cash advance on some of the $550,000 the city agreed to pay him for his property.
Wayne Elliott, who lived in a tepee next to his home for more than two years to honor of his late wife, says a neighboring development caused his property to flood.
Elliott signed a purchase-and-sale agreement with the city in October to transfer ownership of his property. The check hasn’t arrived.
The Portsmouth Herald reports (https://bit.ly/2jv8PAw ) Elliott was sick on Monday and his home had no heat or hot water.
The newspaper put him up in a motel that night. A second man did the same the following night.
