The former emergency services director for Carbon County will serve prison time and must pay thousands in restitution after he pleaded guilty to stealing U.S. Homeland Security grant money for personal use.
Jason Thomas Llewelyn, 47, was sentenced Monday to six months in prison, followed by a year of supervised release, according to court documents. He was also ordered to pay $64,723.03 in restitution.
Between Dec. 16, 2011, and Aug. 19, 2015, Llewelyn, who was then a county sheriff’s deputy and the county’s emergency services director, used a county credit card for purchases totaling more than $5,000.
