Batten, to seven years in state prison and made to pay $949,689 in restitution to Paul and Della Ostien, doing business as 801 Asbury Associates L.P. Batten denied Blevin’s request for bail pending appeal.
Cape May County Prosecutor Robert L. Taylor announced the sentencing in a June 13 release.
The sentence follows the return of a guilty verdict on April 25 by a jury, following a three-and-a-half week trial, for theft by failure to make a required disposition, a second-degree offense. The charge stemmed from an incident in Ocean City that involved Blevin’s receipt of over $1 million related to his role as project manager for a construction project that never took place.
Taylor commended the detectives and assistant prosecutor for the successful prosecution of one of the “largest white collar crime investigations in the county’s history,”
In an earlier release, Taylor related that in August 2010 detectives from the Prosecutor's Office White Collar Crime Unit initiated an investigation into allegations that Blevin, doing business as Bamcoe Construction, secured payments of over $1 million related to his role as project manager for a construction project that never came to fruition.
The investigation revealed Blevin concocted an elaborate scheme to thwart detection of the crime.
