On December 2, 2017, agents of the Honduran Technical Criminal Investigation Agency (ATIC) arrested Kentucky attorney Eric Christopher Conn, 57, who has pleaded guilty to charges over his role in a more than $550 million disability fraud scheme.
In March 2017, Conn pleaded guilty to theft of government money and payment of gratuities. He was placed under house arrest with a GPS monitor pending sentencing, and days before he was scheduled to testify against a co-conspirator in a fraud trial involving Social Security benefits. The ankle monitor was found in Lexington, Kentucky, in a backpack along Interstate-75.
Subsequent to fleeing, a court sentenced him in absentia to 12 years in prison.
