An arrest warrant has been issued for a Sequim contractor after he failed to respond to a court summons for two counts of second-degree theft and one count of a contractor licensing laws violation, according to a news release from the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Tommy Dean Gamboa, 39, doing business as Beach Bros Fence LLC, was charged April 9 in Clallam County Superior Court. The warrant was issued May 24.

According to court records, Gamboa allegedly “did wrongfully obtain or exert unauthorized control of property of another” in the amounts of $1,620.78 in February 2022, $514.78 in March 2022 and $1,142.63 in December 2021.

Second-degree theft is a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years imprisonment and/or a $10,000 fine plus restitution and assessments.

Gamboa also allegedly “did advertise, offer to do work, submit a bid or perform any work without being registered as a contractor” in April 2022.

That is a violation of contractor licensing laws, which is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to 364 days imprisonment and/or a $5,000 fine plus restitution and assessments.

According to the probable cause statement, six complainants have filed reports with the state Department of Labor and Industries alleging Gamboa and/or his company contracted jobs and then failed to complete or even start them after receiving payment.

The statement filed in November 2022 stated a Labor and Industries investigator allegedly found that Gamboa and his company were not a registered contractor nor was the business an LLC company as required by state law.

Non-compliance infractions were issued with fines totaling $29,000.
