Brett Johnson, 33, of Magnolia, has pleaded guilty to six counts of felony home improvement fraud, the Delaware Department of Justice reported.
According to prosecutors, Johnson, during 2015, repeatedly took deposits from people for home improvement projects, and then never returned to complete the work.
Superior Court Judge T. Henley Graves sentenced Johnson to two years at Level V suspended, and one year at Level II for each of the counts. Judge Graves also ordered full restitution to the nine victims, all of whom were senior citizens for $11,554.75. The judge imposed a restriction on future employment so that Johnson cannot be employed as a contractor again.
Deputy Attorney General Jill Remming helped secure the sentences.
