Homeowner association president sentenced for embezzling $87,000
DAYTON — The former president of the Gander Road Homeowner’s Association, who admitted to embezzling $87,000 from the group, was sentenced Friday, Oct. 9, to five years probation.
Rose Griffin, 69, of Dayton, appeared before U.S. District Senior Judge Walter H. Rice, who ordered her to pay full restitution to the association. Griffin will spend the first 18 months of her probation on home confinement, under Rice’s sentence.
Griffin pleaded guilty June 17 to one count of honest services mail fraud.
The thefts occurred between July 2005 and January 2007, according to a statement of facts filed in court. Griffin made false entries in the association’s financial records and fraudulently diverted funds from the association’s money market account, the statement said.
During her home detention, Griffin will be under 24-hour lockdown with electronic monitoring equipment, which she will pay for. She will only be allowed to leave home for pre-approved medical visits during that period, according to Carter M. Stewart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
Griffin must repay the restitution at the rate of $1,000 per month and receive counseling for gambling addiction. Rice also ordered that a lien be placed on Griffin’s home.
