MONROE - A Monroe man convicted of Medicaid fraud had his probation reduced from five to three years Thursday, April 19, after a judge in Green County Circuit Court made an error in sentencing.
Anthony R. Anglin, 29, was sentenced March 7 and is currently serving one year in jail on a Class H felony conviction of fleecing the state with false Medicaid claims related to his now-defunct transportation service. He is ordered to pay more than $100,000 in restitution.
Judge Thomas Vale mistakenly also issued five years of probation for Anglin during the sentencing hearing last month.
The maximum length of probation allowed in the case is three years under state statutes, according to Department of Justice spokeswoman Dana Brueck. The Department of Corrections notified the court of the mistake, she said, and the court responded by scheduling a hearing Thursday to rectify the charge.
Anglin's jail time and restitution amount do not change as a result of the updated probation.
