The former emergency services director for Carbon County, who was accused of using federal grant money to buy hundreds of items for himself, was sentenced Monday to six months in a federal prison followed by a year of supervised release.
Jason Llewelyn, 47, also was ordered by U.S. District Judge David Nuffer to pay nearly $65,000 in restitution.
“I just wanted to acknowledge my wrongdoing,” Llewelyn said before the sentence was handed down, adding that he was sorry for what he did.
At the time he commited his crime, Llewelyn was a Carbon County sheriff’s deputy working as the emergency services director and also a Helper city councilman.
