Tucson - Now, for the first time, we see their faces.

A half-dozen alleged victims who contacted the News 4 Tucson investigators identified from a photo the two men who've been going around Tucson ripping-off people in two separate repair scams. One has identified himself as both David Lee and David Stevens; the other man goes by the name of Anthony Stevens.

We first heard complaints about them and reported on their unlicensed mobile auto body business in November, from 84-year old Annette Komaniecki. She paid them $1000 to remove the dents on her 2009 Buick Lacrosse after they approached her outside her foothills home. Instead, they spread some type of blue paste all over her car. Annette says the guy who did the talking weighs over 300 pounds.

"I guess I felt sorry for him," Ms. Komaniecki told the News 4 Tucson Investigators. We asked her, "Why did you believe what he was saying?" She said, "Because I wanted to."

We showed Annette's car to an auto body shop owner, John Campbell of Desert Enterprises. He said, "I've been doing this over 35 years. I've seen a lot of rip-offs. I've never seen one quite to this level."

Since we reported Annette's story, two more alleged repair racket victims contacted us.

Josh Adams of Rita Ranch posted a Craigslist ad after he bought a used truck with some dents in it. The so-called repairmen put a hole in the truck and in Josh's wallet, for $360.00.

Adams said, "Frankly I just want this guy to stop ripping other people off. He's a scam artist, there's no doubt about it.

Thelma Gonzales says the man calling himself Anthony Stevens approached her outside the Fry's store at 1st and Rogers last summer, offering to do body work on her 2013 Chevy Equinox. $120 later, her SUV looks worse.

QUEENSBURY -- A Fort Edward man who police said burglarized two homes last summer was sentenced to 6 months in Warren County Jail and 5 years on probation for his guilty plea in one of the cases.

Gary D. Wells Jr., 21, will also spend 5 years on probation as part of the sentence imposed by Warren County Judge John Hall.

Wells was arrested last July after police said he went into a Buckbee Road, Queensbury home and stole $350. That theft was captured by a surveillance camera in the home, which led to police identifying Wells as a suspect.

Days later, he was charged with a second burglary, after media coverage of the arrest led to a woman identifying him as the man she caught in her home days before he was arrested in the Buckbee Road theft.

Police said Wells worked as a paving contractor and knocked on doors soliciting driveway sealcoating work. When no one answered the door, he went inside.

His guilty plea to third-degree burglary, a felony, satisfied charges in both cases.

Construction of Route 13 in Tullytown and Bristol Township is moving forward.

Work will begin this spring to repair and pave the concrete roadway between Green Lane and Levittown Town Center driveway intersection. Other work along the heavily traveled roadway in that stretch will include the installation of a new median curb and road improvements at Edgely Avenue and Haines Road, according to http://www.safer13.com.

Crews will lay the initial asphalt pavement in the right lanes between Levittown Parkway and the Levittown Town Center intersection and the left lanes between Green Lane and Levittown Parkway, PennDOT Assistant Press Secretary Gene Blaum said.

All major work between Green Lane and Levittown Parkway which will include the last coat of pavement on the four-lane roadway and permanent traffic signal improvements should be completed sometime this summer, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

Weather permitting, the general contractor, James D. Morrissey Inc., of Philadelphia, will continue to back-fill and grade the median after removing the guide rail and portions of the concrete roadway to make way for grass in the newly constructed median, according to PennDOT.

But the work wont end there, as the jug handle that borders the Levittown train station will be removed so commuters can turn directly from Route 13 into the station, to be renovated by SEPTA, PennDOT spokesman Charles Metzger said. No timetable has been given for the jug handle removal, he added.

Late last year, a new traffic pattern was established between Levittown Parkway and Green Lane after asphalt paving was laid by crews in the right northbound and southbound lanes. Crews adjusted business driveways along this stretch to tie into new curbs and sidewalks recently installed, officials said.

Workers have patched deteriorated pavement and replaced underground storm water drainage facilities and utility lines in place since the 1940s. Throughout the process, workers have encountered significant additional work, including underground utilities that forced the relocation of water mains and drainage pipes, officials said.

One of the largest and most difficult underground systems was completed last spring with the installation of 54-inch diameter drainage pipes nearly 20 feet underground just north of Haines Road, officials said.

Issues with the underground utilities and extra concrete patching set back the federally funded $36.52 million project, officials said. Initially, the transportation agency anticipated an October 2015 completion date, but pushed it back to 2016 because of the utility issues, according to PennDOT.

Make Tobys Dream a reality

This is an open letter to everyone in the Lakes Region area who is a friend and supporter of the Windham veterans and our past president Toby Pennels.

While president of the Windham Veterans Association from June of 2012 until his death in September 2014, Tobys Dream plan was to pave the Windham Veteran Center parking lot and access road to connect with the parking lot pavement behind the Windham Mall as a way to move the Windham Veteran Center into a better position.

One of Tobys first acts for improvements of the center as a public rental hall in order to increase our rental income, was to establish an account within our WVA budget labeled Paving. We have been making deposits in this account when able and the balance today is $4,168. The goal to complete this project is $50,000.

The WVA has dedicated this fundraising project in honor and memory of Toby and we have obtained town approval to rename the paved entrance drive starting at the mall pavement, Toby Pennels Veterans Memorial Drive.

The WVA feels sure there are lots of people who will want to donate to this project to ensure Tobys name will forever be remembered in connection with his beloved veterans center as people drive in and out of our driveway. We truly believe a veteran has not really died as long as his name continues to be said everlasting. In case we are fortunate enough to receive more money than is needed specifically for the paving, we hereby promise every penny received for this project will be used to further perpetuate Tobys name.

For example, if received funds allow us to, we would like to expand and enhance the entrance to our drive with more robust and elaborate granite pillars and signage. Also, on the right side of the drive, going in, people have suggested a row of appropriately spaced evergreen trees to cover the unsightly brush. Also, on the left side of the drive, going in, people have suggested a paved sidewalk for people who often walk our driveway with their dogs.

The expected long-range outcome of this successful project will be a significant increase in rental income, Tobys dream, which will allow the WVA to make significant improvements and upgrades on the inside/outside of the building and grounds, thereby creating additional rentals which will therein make the WVC financially self-sustaining.

For the record, all of WVA income is spent on the maintenance and betterment of the building and grounds. There is not ever even one penny paid to any veteran for all the hundreds of hours of volunteer work they do.

The community, the people of the Greater Windham area, have been physically and financially involved and supportive of the successful building of the building in 1999 and also in the creation and town dedication of Veterans Memorial Park in 2005 and Memorial Gardens in 2006. For those that helped us financially in the past, we thank you. We could not have what we have today without your help. However, in order to maintain and sustain what we have today, we need to find a way to increase our rental income. We believe in Tobys business skills and his decision to choose paving as the answer to our financial income problems.

Rochester, N.Y. - Hes facing felony charges for defrauding at least 33 people. 13 WHAM News has uncovered new information about this snow plow operator, raising new questions about his past.

39 year old Scott Romero may have avoided prosecution and jail in Buffalo in 2011, but as part of the lawsuit filed by the attorney general he agreed to pay his victims back. Now theres evidence of other claims made in Rochester before that date.

Claims were filed against Romero, who was doing business under a different company name. While the claims are not part of the current criminal case, they do help to paint a pattern of behavior required to prove a felony.

As soon as I saw him on the news on television, I said, 'oh my God thats the guy who sat right here in the kitchen,' said Sue Bianchi.

His name may be Scott Romero, yet thats not the name on the contract he signed when he agreed to plow Sue and Joe Bianchis driveway in Greece this season. Instead, he used the name Andy Stewart.

At least 33 people in eight Monroe County towns contracted with Stewart and his company Metro, or Met Construction. They claim they never received the services they were promised.

Romeros lawyer says it will be difficult to prove this was intentional and not simply bad business.

Intent is what the person was thinking at the time. If the matter proceeds to litigation, that is something that we will challenge, said Attorney Dan Aureli.

Questions remain whether Romero changed his name to cover up a past that included the settlement of a lawsuit brought by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in Buffalo in 2011.
