| RE: | State v. Brandon Curtiss – Restitution |
BOISE –An Ada County District Judge ordered Brandon Curtiss to pay over $110,000 in restitution to numerous victims he stole money from as the owner of a property management business.
In 2018, Mr. Curtiss was charged with multiple counts of grand theft for stealing thousands of dollars from clients and customers through his business called Curtiss Property Management. He pleaded guilty in November 2019 to one count of grand theft. His plea agreement allowed that restitution would be ordered for all victims of the charged and dismissed cases.
A two-day restitution hearing was held in September 2020, and Ada County District Judge Peter Barton stated he would release a written ruling on the amount of restitution at a later date. On Wednesday, Judge Barton ordered restitution in the amount of $94,846.53, for 13 of Curtiss’ victims. Five other victims were previously awarded restitution by Judge Barton. The total restitution ordered for all victims was $111,057.47.
Earlier this year, Judge Barton sentenced Mr. Curtiss to 364 days in jail and 14 years of probation.
