Boardman contractor John P. Bartos, 41, was sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years of community control for three counts of theft by deception. Bartos took money from clients for promised construction work, including installing windows and doors, but failed to complete the work. The judge considered Bartos' restitution payment and his apparent change in behavior, but sentenced him based on the "sheer number of cases."
