Kafka sentenced

Robert A. Kafka, 49, Hutchinson, was sentenced Friday morning to 12 months probation for three counts of felony theft by deception.
Should Kafka, formerly of Pittsburg, break his probation, he would be sentenced to 26 months incarceration for these counts, along with another nine months for a prior probation. He is currently on probation from a bad checks case. He also faces a civil case where the plaintiff claims to be out around $100,000.
Kafka was booked on multiple theft charges on Dec. 23, 2008. The theft charges involved construction theft by deception, with Kafka failing to complete work for which he had been paid.
As part of the sentencing, Kafka has agreed to make restitution to the victims identified in this case, and will not be able to receive any money for future construction jobs until after the jobs are finished.
