FL Sheriff Arrests TX Roofer Helping Hurricane Victims​

After Hurricane Ian pulverized parts of Florida earlier this month, roofer Terence Duque sprung into action.


Duque has run a successful Texas-based commercial and residential roofing business since 2008. He's got an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau and has been named a "preferred contractor" by national roofing supply company Owens Corning. And in the wake of Ian, there's an obvious need for roofers and other contractors in Florida, as cleaning up and repairing the storm's damage will take months, if not years. Duque thought he could help by offering his services to homeowners with damaged roofs in Charlotte County, near where the brunt of the storm hit.


The county's response: "Get him."

Texas roofer arrested in Florida for helping hurricane victims fix their homes

Terence Duque was arrested for 'conducting business in Charlotte County without a Florida license.' If charged as a felony, that's an offense that could carry up to five years in prison under Florida law

When a detective with the sheriff's office tracked down Duque, the roofer reportedly said he believed he was allowed to work in Florida due to Gov. Ron DeSantis' emergency order that loosened licensing rules in the aftermath of the storm. "The investigator informed Terence that this was not the case, and that Terence would be placed under arrest, as he had already done work in violation of the statute," according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office.
