Temo was arraigned virtually in Pontiac but he's facing real charges for taking money under false pretenses which is a five-year felony and conducting a criminal enterprise for his garage business, a 20-year felony.

Judge: "Sir state your name and spell your last name."

"Artemio Fabiano Sessions."

Temo was arraigned virtually in Pontiac but he's facing real charges for taking money under false pretenses which is a five-year felony and conducting a criminal enterprise for his garage business, a 20-year felony.

Temo Sessions: "Can I ask one question?"

Judge: "Yes."

Temo Sessions: "Am I going to get something that tells me what this is all about?"

What it's about? It's about the same thing Wolchek put him in the Hall of Shame for, in 2019!

Temo was running a construction business called Garages R Us and his unhappy customers said they'd given tens of thousands of dollars to him - and either got no garages or half-completed garages.

Wolchek: "What do you think I should say to this guy when I find him?"

"You're a scumbag dude," said one of Temo's customers.

Temo had lots of angry customers all over Metro Detroit.

"So painful. I don't want him to hurt other people again," said another.

So Wolchek caught up to Temo and busted him.

Wolchek: "I'm Rob from FOX 2 can I talk to you? I've got to ask you about your garage business. Temo?"

Temo Sessions: "Yeah it's not a business."

Wolchek: "I got a bunch of people who say you took their money and didn't finish. Kevin and Judith what about Judith that nice lady from Westland."

Judith gave Temo more than $10,000 to build a new garage, Temo demolished her old one and left her yard in ruins, and disappeared.
