News Conference on Bobby Thompson Sentencing

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine will hold a media availability in Columbus this morning and in Cleveland this afternoon following the sentencing of John Donald Cody, also known as "Bobby Thompson." The Ohio Attorney General's Office spent years investigating Cody, who is believed to have collected more than $2 million of Ohioans' money and tens of millions from residents in 40 other states who thought they were donating to military veterans via Cody's fraudulent U.S. Navy Veterans Association. Cody was convicted on Nov. 14, 2013, on 23 charges.
