A former Caney businessman has been sentenced to 12 months in jail and 12 months of probation on criminal charges relating to illegally providing autopsy services in Wabaunsee County, Kansas.

43-year-old Shawn Parcells, who was already sentenced to 69 months in federal prison for a related felony wire fraud conviction, received an additional 12 months for 3 counts of misdemeanor criminal desecration. Judge Jeffrey Elder ordered Parcells to serve 12 months in the Wabaunsee County Jail after his release from the 69-month federal term.

In a separate civil case, Parcells and three corporate entities he controlled were permanently banned in August from doing business in Kansas and ordered to pay more than a half million dollars in fines, damages and civil penalties.
