Man imprisoned for bilking Ill. church, school
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — A southwestern Illinois man has been ordered to spend more than five years in federal prison for using schemes involving leased copy machines to defraud a school, a church and several community groups.
Forty-nine-year-old Kevin Welch of Altamont also was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 million in restitution.
Welch pleaded guilty last November to charges of mail fraud and engaging in a fraudulent financial transaction involving more than $10,000.
