HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After a continuance a month ago, a Hutchinson-area man who entered a “guilty” plea to one count of felony theft is scheduled for sentencing again on Friday.
Mahlon Stutzman admitted that between Jan. 1, 2011, and Jan. 1, 2014, he scammed five men out of $493,000. The state says he gave false representation to the victims to deprive them of their money.
The charge has a sentencing range between two years, seven months, to 11 years and four months in prison, not to mention any request for restitution.
He remains jailed on a bond of $100,000 and sentencing will be in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
