Dawn K Rolla, Failure to Pay Child Support, Colorado 2012

A Craig, Colorado woman is facing serious consequences after being indicted for failing to pay over $17,901.00 in past due child support.

Dawn K. Rolla, age 40, was indicted on October 10, 2012, by a federal grand jury for not paying the required child support. She appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge John E. Simko on September 11, 2013, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is two years’ imprisonment and/or a $250,000.00 fine, 1 year of supervised release, 1 additional year upon revocation, a $100.00 assessment fee to the Federal Crime Victim’s Fund, and child support restitution amount owing at the time of sentencing.

The charge is merely an accusation, and Rolla is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The investigation is being conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Wright is prosecuting the case. Rolla was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. A trial date has not been set.

The indictment was announced by United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson. It is a serious reminder that failing to pay child support can have severe consequences, including imprisonment and significant fines.

The case highlights the importance of paying child support on time and the consequences of failing to do so. It also underscores the need for parents to take responsibility for their financial obligations to their children.
