INDIANOLA, Iowa (AP) - A former Indianola city attorney has been ordered to pay the city $35,333 in restitution after being found guilty of fraudulently overbilling the city.
The Des Moines Register reported (https://dmreg.co/1jwetKg ) Thursday that the restitution order comes after John Hoyman was sentenced in February to 10 years in prison for the fraudulent billing.
Hoyman was arrested in May 2013 after a state audit discovered that Hoyman had put false names of clients on bills that he was submitting to the city. The audit said Hoyman filed nearly $91,000 in overbillings to the city during a six-year period.
Hoyman acknowledged using fake names from the phone book on his invoices, but said he never obtained any money he didn’t deserve from the city.
Hoyman is appealing.
