A judge revoked the probation of a man convicted of bilking hundreds of thousands of dollars from an elderly person, because the defendant hasn’t been paying back the victim as ordered.

On September 20, Donnie Embrey pleaded guilty to one count of the financial exploitation of an elderly or disabled person, a class-A felony. Judge Daniel Kellogg ordered 120 days shock time in the county jail, and suspended execution of a 25 year prison term, provided Embrey pay back the victim.

The court ordered Embrey to repay $242,000 at 9% interest, and his parole officer ordered Embrey to repay $4,000 per month. But the judge heard a report that Mr Embrey has barely paid half that amount.

On December 18, Judge Kellogg revoked Embrey’s probation, and ordered him to serve the full 25-year term.

A co-defendant, Richard Lee Edwards, was found guilty by a jury in a related scam, and was sentenced to 12-years in prison. In that case, Judge Kellogg ordered Edwards to pay back $108,000 plus interest.

Prosecutors say the pair took advantage of the victims by offering overpriced home repairs.
