Vernon Hills man prosecutors called 'con artist' gets 8 years in prison
Ricky Dugo, 56, took hundreds of thousands of dollars in what prosecutors described as"long cons" that caused significant harm to his victims.
A Lake County judge on Friday accepted a negotiated deal that dropped several of the pending charges in exchange for Dugo's pleading guilty to one felony count of theft and serving eight years in prison. Under the terms of the deal Dugo also will have to pay more than $145,000 in restitution to his victims.
Sara Avalos, spokeswoman for the Lake County state's attorney's office, said prosecutors were pursuing four cases against Dugo, one for each victim.
