LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal jury in Las Vegas found a Nevada-based homebuilder guilty of siphoning federal money designated for building affordable homes on Navajo Nation tribal land in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, to pay for gambling, furs, jewelry and thoroughbred racehorse training.

William Aubrey, 69, of Mesquite, could face up to 10 years in federal prison and $500,000 in federal prison following his conviction Thursday on two counts of conversion of money and funds from a tribal organization, U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said.

“The Navajo Nation counted on the monies stolen by the defendant to provide housing for its members,” Bogden said in a statement. “This defendant stole from the tribe and from the American people, and used the monies to finance an extravagant lifestyle.”

The federal public defender who represented Aubrey didn’t immediately respond Friday to messages about whether he plans to appeal.

The jury heard about two weeks of testimony and deliberated more than two days before acquitting a co-defendant, Chester Carl, of conspiracy and bribery charges.

Carl’s attorney, Todd Leventhal, said his client, the former chief executive of the Navajo Housing Authority, hopes to get his job back.
