A Homer man has been handed a stiff sentence for stealing nearly $60,000 from his employer.
John Bob Jr., 47, was sentenced to 38 months in prison for one count of bank fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release and pay $58,248 in restitution.
The evidence presented at his guilty plea hearing on July 15, 2014, showed that Bob used his employer’s debit card and personal identification number to make approximately 200 withdrawals totaling $59,602 from May 2012 to July 2013 from banks across northwest Louisiana.
The FBI and Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation into Bob’s crimes.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth D. Reeg prosecuted the case against Bob.
Bob’s sentence brings an end to a long and complex investigation that began with reports of suspicious activity at a local bank.
The case against Bob serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting employer assets and the severe consequences that come with stealing from one’s employer.
As a result of his crimes, Bob will be spending nearly three years behind bars and paying back the nearly $60,000 he stole from his employer.
The case against Bob is a clear example of the federal government’s commitment to fighting white-collar crime in northwest Louisiana.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana will continue to work tirelessly to hold those accountable who commit financial crimes.
