A woman who was arrested in Epworth last year for falsely claiming unemployment benefits recently has been sentenced to four months in federal prison. Holly Jacobi was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids after pleading guilty to two counts of theft of government funds and one count of wire fraud. Judge C.J. Williams also ordered that Jacobi’s prison sentence be followed by four months of home confinement and three years of supervised release. A report says Jacobi filed a fraudulent application for Iowa unemployment benefits on April 6, 2020. Jacobi claimed that she was entitled to at least $17,888 in unemployment benefits because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
