Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 15 years, 10 months AGO
Convicted embezzler William Dancer won’t spend time in prison for stealing more than $200,000 from his former employer, Sagle, Idaho-based Independence Home Center Inc., over three years ago.
Friday morning District Court Judge Michael Prezeau gave Dancer a 20-year suspended sentence for three convictions of felony theft by embezzlement, remarking that if not for Dancer’s heart condition, he probably would be facing prison time. In addition, Dancer was ordered to pay the victims $237,000 in restitution.
