The victim did so, but Gomez never made any attempt to return the money, nor did he ever do any work on the roof.  <\/p>\n<p>He was arrested, and pleaded guilty in May for failure to felony construction fraud.  On Wednesday, a circuit court judge sentenced Gomez to five years in prison, which is above the state&#8217;s recommended guidelines of three years. <\/p>\n<p>Gomez has an extensive criminal history dating back to 1995, and has a history of committing these types of offenses against the elderly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Scumbag POS.
