A North Texan is one of two men sentenced for posing as Internal Revenue Service agents and bilking a northern Iowa woman.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reported that 41-year-old Eduardo Cruz, of Grapevine, was sentenced last week to four days in jail. A $625 fine was suspended, and he was ordered to pay nearly $5,000 in restitution. He'd pleaded guilty to theft.
Co-defendant Coty Phillips, of Alabama, was sentenced last month to 85 days in jail and ordered to pay $69 in restitution.
Police said Phillips and Cruz had called the woman and threatened her with arrest if she didn't pay them money they said she owed the government.
