FLORENCE, Ky. (WKRC) -- A Florence attorney faces criminal charges after investigators say he bilked his clients out of at least six-hundred fifty thousand dollars.
67-year-old John Arnett faces five counts of theft and three counts of forgery. The crimes allegedly took place over a 13 year period.
Arnett is also accused of forging court documents and bank statements and then gambling away the money he stole. The case came to light in December 2013, when investigators say Arnett could not pay out $82,389 to a couple. A family court judge had him jailed for contempt of court.
Boone county sheriff's investigators say there are possibly more victims that have yet to be identified. Arnett is currently locked up in the Boone county detention center.
