A South Point man who defrauded the Ohio Office of Unemployment won’t be sent to prison but will have to pay back more than $12,000 in restitution.

Henry Runyon, 37, of 811 Township Road 161, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a count of grand theft from the unemployment office.

According to a fraud investigation report from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Runyon worked for four different employers over a course of three years but did not report his earnings to the unemployment office, where he received benefits.

Judge D. Scott Bowling sentenced the man to repay $12,094 in restitution to the ODJFS. Bowling also sentenced the man to four years community control sanctions under intensive supervised probation and 200 hours community service.

If Runyon violates his CCS orders or fails to make restitution payments, he could be sent to prison for up to 17 months.

In an unrelated case, an Ironton couple accused of selling prescription drugs was arraigned.

Cindy Gannon, 34, of the same address, was arraigned on four misdemeanor counts of endangering children and one fifth-degree count of possession of drugs.

Both pleaded not guilty to the charges in Judge Charles Cooper’s courtroom.
