Area man faces hefty restitution for gold, tool theft

| March 12, 2024 7:00 AM

A man accused of taking advantage of a Libby resident who gave him a helping hand was sentenced and ordered to pay nearly $14,000 in restitution after a March 4 court hearing.

Henry Mareman Yeadon, 47, pleaded no contest to a one felony count of theft on Nov. 6, 2023, in Lincoln County District Court. District Judge Matt Cuffe followed the terms of the plea deal, which called for a 5-year deferred sentence.

Yeadon must also pay $13,975 in restitution to the victim. Court fines and fees were waived after a request by public defender Ben Kolter. Yeadon received credit for serving 12 days in custody following the offense in November 2022.
