Women swindler gets prison
MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) – A western Michigan man has been sentenced to more than nine years in prison after women lined up to tell a judge how the sweetheart swindler broke their hearts and emptied their wallets.
Authorities say at least 19 victims lost $300,000. Jeffrey Lee Lucas used romance, lies and promises of repayments to get the money. He apologized Friday in a Muskegon County courtroom and said he had a gambling addiction.
