Bonita Springs jeweler Ken Romano didn’t hide his association with Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno. The two men were allegedly close friends who shared a taste for gambling, bling, and high-end cars. The 55-year-old Romano defended the sheriff in social media posts and displayed a framed “Keep Carmine Marceno Sheriff” campaign poster and badge-bedecked plaque from the sheriff’s office at his jewelry store on Bonita Beach Road.
