MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A former Minneapolis police officer and the son of a former nonprofit leader has been sentenced to two years in prison for a fraud scheme.
Jordan Davis was sentenced Tuesday for his role in defrauding Community Action of Minneapolis, which was run by his father, Bill Davis.
Jordan Davis was convicted in June after a trial. Prosecutors alleged he received a manager’s salary to work at an ice cream store run by the nonprofit, but did no work. He’s accused of conspiring with his father to steal more than $140,000 in taxpayer funds.
Minnesota Public Radio News reports (https://bit.ly/2kpru4N ) that his attorney, Fred Bruno, argued for no prison time, saying he feared Davis would be abused because he was once a police officer.
Bill Davis still awaits sentencing.
