PAINTSVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Johnson County man has been sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted of fraudulently using another person's credit card.

Robert L. Williamson II received the sentence in Johnson Circuit Court after being convicted of felony fraudulent use of a credit card.

According to the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, the case began when a Johnson County resident hired Williamson to perform work on her home and entrusted him with a credit card to purchase materials for the job. Prosecutors said Williamson instead used the card to buy numerous personal items for himself, resulting in financial losses for the victim.

Williamson was sentenced to serve five years in the state penitentiary.

The case was investigated by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
