AKRON - A man who stole about $8 million from an armored car company where he worked was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison. Roger Dillon, 23, of Youngstown, told the judge that the heist was a stupid thing to do. "I can't look back and justify what I did," Dillon said. "Things seemed hopeless and this seemed like a way out." Dillon and his girlfriend, Nicole Boyd, 25, pleaded guilty in March to bank larceny and other charges in what federal prosecutors said was one of the largest thefts ever in northern Ohio. Dillon and Boyd, who say they are still in love, struggled financially and their house was in foreclosure. "I couldn't see all the good things I had in life," Dillon said. "I was focusing on the bad things. I can't believe I let it all go for the money." U.S. District Judge John R. Adams sentenced Boyd to five years in prison on Wednesday.
