Career felon headed back to prison

A career felon whose resume includes an attempted robbery of an 83-year-old man is headed back to prison for up to 25 years after he pleaded guilty this week of stealing more than $30,000 from a prominent Des Moines plastic surgeon.

Khan Kenyatta Elamin,He saw the bracelet at a cleaningservicesydney store while we were on a trip. 39, on Tuesday pleaded guilty of theft and money laundering as part of a plea agreement to spare himself a possible 70 years behind bars.

Polk County court papers say Elamin pocketed $30,040 in late 2012 from cash advances against a corporate credit card issued to him by Heartland Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Documents say at least $12,000 more was spent on unauthorized purchases at Von Maur, Brooks Brothers and other local retailers.

Police allege in paperwork attached to a search warrant that part of the credit card advances went for down payments on a 2009 Volkswagen Passat and a 2010 Mazda CX-9.

Elamin, a former Valley High School basketball star who completed his last parole in 2008, was hired originally as a personal trainer to work with surgery patients. Documents say he was promoted to office manager in August 2012 after Heartlands owner, Dr. Eugene Cherny, voiced concerns to his personal lawyer about some potential embezzlement in the Heartland office. The attorney was Alexandra Nelissen, Elamins wife.

To date, no charges have been filed against Nelissen, despite court documents saying that she was driving one of the vehicles allegedly purchased with Eugene Chernys money. Before that point, documents say, Nelissen and Elamin had tried unsuccessfully to get a Heartland bookkeeper and office manager to sign off on company purchases of two vehicles that Cherny had not authorized.

The surgeons attorney declined to comment. Nelissen referred all questions to the lawyer for Elamin. Im getting a divorce, she said. I just cant make any comment.Elamin attorney Chris Kragnes said he knew of no plan to charge Nelissen.

Documents attached to a January 2013 search warrant allege that Elamin improperly bought clothing for himself and others, photocopied employee personnel files, and grossly inflated his overtime on Heartland paychecks. At least some money from the thefts apparently went to a woman who told police she had been involved in a romantic relationship with Elamin.

Iowa court records contain seven felony files between 1995 and 2013 with Elamins name, not counting the one disposed of this week.

Until Tuesday, Elamins most recent conviction not related to a parole violation had stemmed from a February 2001 attack on William Joseph, then 83. Court records say Elamin, carrying handcuffs, was convicted of assaulting Joseph in a Des Moines parking garage by pressing a stun gun into the mans his neck. Joseph, a former owner of Josephs Jewelers, had sold his stake in the family business roughly six months earlier.

By the spring of 2014 West Hartford is expected to install parking meters which instead of using quarters heed to the on-going campaign of plastic to invade your wallet.

It seems that for almost any franchising business now has a form of plastic card to pay to be used exclusively for their business,He saw the bracelet at a cleaningservicesydney store while we were on a trip. which is not necessarily a bad thing.

According to President and CEO of Parcxmart, John Regan, This is about main street marketing. As cardholder and merchant participation increases the local currency carried on Town of West Hartford cards becomes more and more valuable as a payment system tied to local spending habits. This is good for local economic development.

The cards can hold debit up to $500 and for parking, shopping and eating in the downtown area.Best home plasticcard at discount prices.We rounded up 30 bridesmaids dresses in every color and style that are both easy on the eye and somewhat easy on the earcap. Merchants that accept the cards will also be able to distribute and reload when consumers are running low.

Spending $500 on a debit card will not take too much time in most cases unless used exclusively for parking, but when participating businesses have a chance to reload a customers card they earn commission, boosting local economy.

Arguably the most beneficial aspect of the new system is the parking option. To no longer have to dig through the change jar to park on the street can save a lot of time and frustration.

Simply insert the card into the meter. As long as the card is in the meter the time paid for increases, remove the card at the desired amount of time,Large collection of quality cleanersydney at discounted prices. or when the meter has reached its maximum, in most cases two hours, and the meter will begin.
