In Ganado, Blake Patrick Petrash, 40, received a 40-year prison sentence for theft and forgery after admitting to embezzling $3.4 million from Hurt’s Wastewater Management, where he worked. Prosecutors revealed that Petrash had been siphoning funds since ’16, using fake loans under his relatives’ names to cover expenses. Much of the stolen money was reportedly spent on adult services, contradicting his initial claim of blackmail. Family members testified to feeling deeply betrayed, while the defense highlighted Petrash’s community involvement and remorse, requesting probation.
