A second person was sentenced in federal court Wednesday for his role in the death of a developmentally disabled Fulton man and trying to cover up his death.

District Judge Brian Wimes sentenced Anthony Flores to 188 months -- over 15 years -- in prison Wednesday morning.

He agreed to plead guilty last November to a charge of deprivation of Carl DeBrodie's civil rights.

Flores' son, Anthony R.K. Flores, agreed to plead guilty in February to a charge of falsification of records in a federal investigation. His sentencing is scheduled Wednesday afternoon before Wimes.

Sherry Paulo, Anthony Flores' wife, was sentenced Tuesday to 17.5 years in federal prison for pleading guilty to one count of deprivation of DeBrodie's civil rights and one count of health care fraud arising from her efforts to hide Debrodie's death.

DeBrodie, 31, was a resident of Second Chance Homes of Fulton, a care facility on Claymine Drive. He was reported missing April 17, 2017, and his remains were found six days later encased in concrete in a Fulton storage unit, though an investigation determined he had actually died in 2016.
