How much prison time for Roger Dillon?


YOUNGSTOWN — It’s been determined that Roger Dillon, 23, of Youngstown ran off with millions of dollars from an armored car company. Now it must be decided how much time he spends in prison.

Dillon, who admitted stealing about $8.4 million from AT Systems in Liberty Township, was set to be sentenced this week, but the court postponed that sentencing date. Now his attorney, Brian M. Pierce of Akron, is asking the court that Dillon receive between 45 and 57 months behind bars.

One new piece of information contained in Pierce’s most recent court filing is that the Nov. 26 theft of millions was not the first time had Dillon stolen money. In August 2007, the court filing states, Dillon stole a bag containing $50,000 — three months before the November theft. The court document, though, does not say from where the $50,000 was taken — or if was taken from AT Systems.

Dillon and his girlfriend Nicole Boyd, 25, pleaded guilty to bank larceny, conspiracy to pull off the November scheme and taking the money out of state. Each faces up to 25 years in prison.
