A 44-year-old Lake Charles man was sentenced in federal court Thursday to two years in prison for conspiring to steal over $190,000 in yard equipment, said U.S. Attorney Stephanie Finley.

Kevin Henry, who was the last of five conspirators to be sentenced, was ordered to pay $78,513 in restitution and serve three years’ supervised release, Finley said.

Henry pleaded guilty in 2013 to initiating the operation by asking Robert Jordan Handy, 26, of Lake Charles, to steal lawn mowers and other yard equipment, she said.

Handy, who brought in others to help steal equipment, sold the items to Henry, who in turn sold them elsewhere, Finley said.

Handy, 26, of Lake Charles, was sentenced in 2013 to 30 months in prison and three years’ supervised release, she said. He was ordered to pay $78,513 restitution.

Melvin Simien III, 34, of Iowa, La., was sentenced in 2013 to 33 months in prison and three years’ supervised release.

He was ordered to pay $78,513 restitution and do 50 hours of community service.

Donald James Odia Ellis, 25, of Lake Charles, was sentenced in 2013 to six months in prison and three years’ supervised release. He was ordered to do 50 hours of community service.

Paula Garrick, 46, of Iowa, was sentenced in 2013 to a year of unsupervised probation.
