Man From Asbury Sentenced For Theft and Forgery

The Iowa Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that a former Dubuque nightclub owner who pleaded guilty to 11 felony forgery and theft charges was properly sentenced. 29 year old Patrick Person of Asbury was sentenced in May to two to five years of probation after pleading guilty to ongoing criminal conduct, two counts of second-degree theft and eight counts of forgery. He also was given a suspended 25-year prison sentence, which he will not have to serve if he fulfills the terms of his sentence. Authorities said Person knowingly cashed bad checks using multiple business accounts.
