WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a former campaign aide who admitted stealing money from Joseph Biden’s Senate campaign treasury almost two decades ago has failed to pay court-ordered restitution.
A federal judge in Delaware recently granted a request by prosecutors for a writ of garnishment against 49-year-old Roger Dale Blevins III of Ocala, Florida.
Blevins was the assistant treasurer of Citizens for Biden from July 2002 to July 2003. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison in 2005 after pleading guilty to interstate transportation of stolen property and aiding and abetting the making of a false statement to the government.
Blevins was also ordered to pay more than $402,000 in restitution. Prosecutors said in court filings late last month that the debt remains unpaid.
The judge ordered a writ of garnishment directed to Blevins’ employer, Georgia-based DataScan.
