CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A Hurricane man is going to prison for stealing money from his mother and grandmother.
George Henry Anderson II, 48 was sentenced Monday in Kanawha County Circuit Court to 2-20 years in prison. He was sentenced in February to 2-10 years in prison for similar crimes in Putnam County, .
Judge Dave Hardy sentenced Anderson to 2-10 years, a $10,000 fine and ordered him to pay nearly $31,000 in restitution after a conviction on a charge of stealing from the elderly. Hardy also sentenced Anderson to the maximum 10 years in prison for using a electronic device to defraud. He’ll have to pay a $10,000 fine.
Kanawha County prosecutors recommended Hardy sentence Anderson to 7 years probation but the judge rejected that and sentenced Anderson to the prison time to be served consecutively.
Anderson had a previous conviction in connection with crimes against children.
Hardy said Anderson exploited both children and seniors, the two most vulnerable populations.
Anderson’s mother spoke against him at Monday’s sentencing.
