“Bar Rescue” host Jon Taffer has saved more than 800 bars and nightclubs from ruin in his 30-plus years as a consultant. But he couldn’t save Brian Michael Flore, owner of The Arena in downtown Ann Arbor, from himself. Flore, 43, was sentenced Wednesday to two to five years in prison for 120 counts of failure to file taxes, resulting from not paying sales taxes for more than a decade, Attorney General Bill Schuette said in a statement. The Brighton man was also ordered to pay more than $1.5 million in restitution — more than double what the state says he hadn’t paid.
