A father and son from Grand Prairie who conspired to defraud Medicare with a doctor from Garland were sentenced Monday to federal prison.
Lawrence Dale St. John, 67, was dealt 262 months, or nearly 22 years, and Jeffrey Dale St. John, 42, got 135 months, or just over 11 years, according to a release from the U.S. attorney’s office.
Both must also pay restitution to the government for their roles in the multimillion-dollar house-call fraud scheme.
