A Minersville man will serve time on house arrest instead of prison after admitting Wednesday in Schuylkill County Court that he stole more than $20,000 using a computer instead of a weapon.
Jeffrey H. Boyer, 29, pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a computer, access device fraud and theft, with prosecutors withdrawing a charge of receiving stolen property.
Judge John E. Domalakes sentenced Boyer to serve nine to 18 months on house arrest with electronic monitoring. Boyer also must pay costs and $21,638.60 restitution, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities, under the terms of Domalakes’ sentence, which the judge made effective on Feb. 5.
Pottsville police charged Boyer with stealing the money on Dec. 18, 2014.
