Gary police Sgt. Joshua Wiley admitted he stole money and a home from his former neighbor who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and dementia and has agreed to repay $116,765 to the woman's estate.
On the day his jury trial was scheduled to begin, Wiley pleaded guilty Monday to two felony charges -- theft and exploitation of an endangered adult.
Under terms of the plea agreement, which Lake Superior Court Judge Diane Ross Boswell took under advisement, Wiley will be sentenced to eight years -- three years in the Lake County Community Correction Kimbrough Work Program and five years suspended and served on probation. The plea agreement calls for Wiley to serve his probation and Kimbrough Center sentence simultaneously.
Wiley, 51, also must pay $53,255 within 30 days and the remaining $62,765 in monthly installments of $1,000, also starting within 30 days.

Good cops - bad cops.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunatlely, the bad ones make the good ones look bad too.
Tbis sounds like a fair deal to me.
ReplyDeleteThree years not just in prison but working in prison is just what this predator needs.
And, he has to repay the neighbor.
Of course, there should be interest included but maybe the judge accounted for that.
Sounds like this cop will be held accountable.
ReplyDeleteGood job judge Diane Ross Boswell.
To the woman's estate? As in the woman has a guardian as a result of Joshua Wiley's involvement?
ReplyDeleteIf so, then he deserves the same life sentence.
Great cop. What else did this opportunist do and get away with?
