The mother of a U.S. Marine was grieving for her dead son when she found that his savings account had been claimed by the director of the funeral home.
It was money that he had no right to and despite a court ruling, the funeral director refused to pay.
What's even more puzzling is that he's not just any debtor, he's the mayor of the small town and a member of a City Council that has financial responsibility for the city's budget.
7NEWS also found that he has other debts as well, something his constituents may want to know.
Jason Sepulveda, a Marine, was training at Camp Lejune in North Carolina, preparing to go to Iraq, when in an evening off-base, he was killed in a car accident.
Records show that the funeral was paid, in full, by the Marines.
But after closing out her son's accounts, Jason's mother realized that the probate court had sent the proceeds of Jason's savings account to the funeral home, which is run by Jim Bostick.
Sepulveda took Bostick to court ...
The judge's order ...gave damages, interests, court fines, everything...
But despite the judgment of more than $7,500, Bostick has refused to pay.
Court records show Bostick has several current unsatisfied debts to creditors from Greeley to Montana and that doesn't include money he owed when he filed bankruptcy in 2001.
"My son was in the Marines and he went there to do what was right for his country.
I know for a fact that for somebody to actually steal from him is not right," ...
"I feel like me, as a mother, I need to do this.
This was my son's money and I'm not going to go away."

Thanks. I never thought to google the funeral home. Friday night, beer, and freeping are not always a good combination.
thanks againg.
p
The mayor could be overdue for a $7500 accident.
"thanks againg."
oh I've heard of spell check. I just happen to think it's for sissies.
That's JimBo Stick.
Thanks for your work on this and the ping.
We all are trying to do the right thing...together.
The more people who do some research, the better.
I searched the city, him personally, etc. also with little success.
We just got lucky with his funeral homes. It looks like he has more than one.
Hopefully, he will get his day in criminal court and see the inside of a jail, soon.
Thanks for posting the article!
Sounds like time for a blanket party.
This guy, the Mayor, needs a visit from the Night Riders... What a disgusting POS; stealing money from a dead marine... Watch the video, it's SO all OVER Mr. Mayor!!!
Have you seen this yet?
Doubt that you'd need an old squid's help, but I'd WALK down from Billings to get in on the dungaree liberty this POS deserves.
This mayor is a punk. Turn the money over mayor, or face the consequences.
"Sounds like time for a blanket party."
Immediately followed by a "G.I.shower"......
This "mayor" is a turd that deserves no mercy.
String the bastard up just like the old days.
This scum need a lein put on his ass. If he lived close enough I think I have to let him talk to a number twelve.
"Banks have rules,right? Did he do this with other deceaseds' bank accounts? And how was it done?"
I'm thinking he would need a court order to get that money. If he didn't have one the bank is going to be very sorry.
Just emailed this p.o.s.
He looks like the actor James Coburn after an overdose of pregnazone.
Isn't there some sort of Mortician's board? Like a board of medicine?
Perhaps a complaint could be lodged against Mayor Crook.
