Former hotel manager admits to embezzling $173,000

DAYTON — A former general manager of the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites in Centerville pleaded guilty Wednesday, Aug. 27 to one count of aggravated theft of more than $100,000.

Jimmy J. Dupre, 43, of Dayton, will be sentenced Sept. 23. The charge is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.

Dupre embezzled more than $173,000 from the hotel, 5655 Wilmington Pike, over a five-year period, said Montgomery County Prosecutor Mathias H. Heck, Jr.

An accountant discovered the discrepancy, then hotel officials contacted Centerville police, who then contacted the prosecutor’s office’s consumer fraud and economic crimes division, Heck said.

Dupre was indicted on the charge on April 29.
