PHOENIX (AP) - A California woman and her ex-husband have been sentenced to more than a year in federal prison for defrauding Phoenix-area homeowner associations while an Arizona resident will serve probation.
A federal judge Monday sentenced 47-year-old Kelsey Powell of Lemon Grove, California; 53-year-old Michael Powell of Wellsville, Ohio; and Rachel Ellerbrock of Gilbert, Arizona.
The Powells and Ellerbrock previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering for misusing about $1.2 million in stolen HOA fees.
All three must pay restitution.
Harlow White - the father of Kelsey Powell and Rachel Ellerbrock - is serving a 15-month prison term and must pay nearly $292,000 in restitution.
White formerly was president and CEO of a property management company whose clients included HOAs throughout metro Phoenix.
The Powells and Ellerbrock held management roles.
