Money Buried On A Golf Course
KENTUCKY...
A man who was a neighbor and golfing partner of northern Kentucky homebuilder Bill Erpenbeck has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about burying stolen cash on a golf course.
Steven Michael Skidmore entered his plea on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Covington. Sentencing of the 48-year-old Skidmore was set for March 28.
Skidmore now lives in Florida and is free on bond. He could not be reached for comment after the court hearing and his attorneys declined comment.
The plea agreement revealed the amount of money dug up as $257,611.
In the summer of 2009, Erpenbeck called agents to the Florida prison where he is serving 25 years for bank fraud and said he gave Skidmore a quarter-million dollars to hide for him.
