Charleston Couple Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Lisa A. Knotts, 33, and her husband, 42 year old Ross A. Knotts, of Charleston were sentenced Wednesday to three months in prison, followed by a 3-year term of supervised release, along with being ordered to pay $78,530 in restitution. The couple pleaded guilty in September 2010 to the charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, admitting they stole merchandise from various Target stores in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and resold the items on the online auction site eBay, allowing them to be delivered via the U.S. Mail. Investigators say the couple instructed their minor to assist with hiding merchandise in shopping carts and child strollers. The Court allowed each defendant to serve their prison term separately. Lisa Knotts will serve her sentence second. Ross Knotts is set to report to the U.S. Marshal on January 17th.
