VA Scheme Defendants Sentenced
KENTUCKY...
A Kentucky man and a West Virginia man have been sentenced to one year and one day in prison for their roles in a scheme to file fraudulent military disability claims.
Federal prosecutors say 39-year-old Thomas Darrell Bryant of LeRoy, WV, and 62-year-old Joe Davis Snooks Jr. of Roundhill, KY were sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Louisville. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Coffman also sentenced the two men to three years' supervised release after they are released. Bryant is also to pay $191,853.67 in restitution and Snooks was ordered to make restitution of $141,732.
Ten others were previously sentenced in the case in which officials say a former Veterans Administration employee and others conspired to steal nearly $2 million in disability claims. Two other men who pleaded guilty are scheduled to be sentenced in July.
