An Augusta man has admitted to stealing more than $1.2 million while working for a company that owns assisted living centers in Kansas and Missouri. KMUW’s Deborah Shaar reports...

A court filing Thursday shows Brent Shryock plead guilty to mail fraud in a deal with prosecutors for a proposed 36-month prison sentence.

Shryock worked as an information systems director for Wichita-based Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America and was in charge of purchasing equipment.

Investigators say Shryock and his wife created four fictitious companies to submit fraudulent invoices. Among them was LGR Technologies, which stood for Let's Get Rich Technologies.

Shryock has also agreed to forfeit real estate, vehicles, and other property.

His sentencing is set for August 6th.

His wife, Lori Shryock, is scheduled for a change-of-plea hearing on May 22.

Deborah joined the news team at KMUW in September 2014 as a news reporter. She spent more than a dozen years working in news at both public and commercial radio and television stations in Ohio, West Virginia and Detroit, Michigan. Before relocating to Wichita in 2013, Deborah taught news and broadcasting classes at Tarrant County College in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area.
