Larry Lokken isn’t getting out of prison early, but he does have an outside job.
A judge yesterday dismissed Lokken’s request to end his nine-year prison sentence. Lokken is serving time for stealing a million-dollars from taxpayers while he was Eau Claire County’s treasurer. Lokken is working outside the prison, under close supervision, at a rehab program in Fort Atkinson. He’s had that job for about a year-and-a-half. But it’s not earning him much money, he still owes over a half-million dollars in restitution to the county.
