CINCINNATI – A convicted Indiana felon has been sentenced to 3 to 4 1/2 years in prison for defrauding 14 Ohio residents through home improvement scams, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced.
Roger Glenn Gray of Aurora pleaded guilty in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to a second-degree felony charge of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.
Along with his prison sentence, Gray, 52, has been ordered to pay restitution to his victims, from whom he stole over $105,000.
“Scammers and fraudsters will always try to take advantage of hardworking Ohioans, but we’re here to make sure they don’t get away with it,” Yost said in a media release. “Justice has been served in this case, and other bad apples should beware.”
Gray’s criminal record includes a felony theft conviction in Indiana in 2003, two Ohio felony theft from the elderly convictions in Hamilton County in 2012, and a Hamilton County misdemeanor theft conviction in 2014.
Gray’s sentencing comes after he was indicted for felony theft in July 2024. According to the indictment, Gray accepted payments for concrete work and home improvement projects between April 7, 2022, and April 21, 2024, while operating under the business name All Around Concrete.
In most cases, he did little or no work at all, failed to provide materials, and refused to issue refunds.
