Home-Improvement Scammer Sentenced to Prison.

A convicted Indiana felon was sentenced Wednesday to 3 to 4½ years in prison for defrauding 14 Ohioans of more than $105,000, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced.

Roger Glenn Gray, 52, of Aurora, Indiana, pleaded guilty in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to a second-degree-felony count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. In addition to prison time, the court ordered Gray to pay restitution to his victims.

Gray has a long history of criminal activity, including a 2003 felony-theft conviction in Indiana; two  Ohio convictions for felony theft from the elderly in 2012 in Hamilton County; and a 2014 misdemeanor theft conviction in Hamilton County.

Gray’s sentencing stemmed from his indictment for felony theft in July 2024. The indictment maintained that between April 7, 2022, and April 21, 2024, Gray – operating under the business name All Around Concrete – accepted payments for concrete work and home-improvement projects. In most instances, however, he either performed minimal work or none, failed to provide materials, and refused to issue refunds.
