WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man will serve five years of probation for defrauding customers and can no longer work in the homebuilding business.

The Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office says 44-year-old Brett Horth was sentenced Wednesday and ordered to repay $344,236. He could be sent to prison for one year and four months if he doesn’t repay the money or follow his probation terms.

The Wichita Eagle reports Horth pleaded guilty in February to two counts of felony theft for keeping money paid by homeowners for subcontracting work.

Most of the fraud occurred last year, when Horth ran Dream Life Homes and built houses in Andover, Colwich, Derby, Garden Plain, Goddard, Park City, Pratt and Wichita. Eleven homeowners were affected.
