A Kosciusko jury found a man guilty of not paying his child support Wednesday, according to a news release from the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office.
Mylon Betts, 39, Marion, was convicted of two counts of failing to support his dependent child in Kosciusko Superior Court III after a two-day trial.
Betts was found to owe $21,564.19 in back child support.
The evidence introduced at trial indicated that the Kosciusko County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Child Support Division, has had a long history of enforcement efforts against Betts, which included a prior conviction in 2007 for non-support of a dependent child.
As a result of his prior conviction, Betts’ charges were enhanced to level 5 felonies, which the jury convicted him of on each and every count, the release states.
