“A local construction contractor will serve eight years in state prison for defrauding customers and embezzling money over a five-year period, prosecutors said.

Gary Winsor and his late father, Raymond L. Winsor, were indicted in 2007 after prosecutors said their construction companies defrauded at least 16 customers who had hired them for roof work, home additions and remodeling projects, from 2002 to 2007.

About 50 lawsuits against the Winsors and their companies, which used the names Winsor Construction, RayWin Construction, WCS Inc. and Western Truss – resulted in civil judgments against the Winsors, according to court records.

Between 1997 and 2005, about $1 million in debt accumulated by the Winsors was by bankruptcy court, according to court records.”
