A former Mountain Home man found guilty of stealing from his employer in 2017 was back in Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.
Fifty-three-year-old Scott Haynes, who now lives in Jonesboro, was facing the revocation of his five year suspended sentence in the theft case.
A revocation petition was filed in July last year accusing Haynes of not showing up for his intake process and not attempting to contact probation/parole. At the time the petition was filed, it was noted Haynes whereabouts were unknown.
Haynes pled guilty to violating the terms and conditions of his probation and was sentenced to four years in the Arkansas Department of Correction.
His original arrest in 2017 was based on charges that Haynes was stealing cash from the business where he worked.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Haynes, who made night deposits for the business, would take cash and replace it with a personal check from an account he knew was without funds.
He was reported to have used that system to steal money on four separate occasions before being caught.
The total stolen was slightly more than $1,500, according to the probable cause affidavit.
