A federal judge ruled that a former county detective no longer will be able to delay his sentencing in connection with defrauding Butler Health System of $1.3 million.

Scott Roskovski pleaded guilty to federal charges of filing a false loan application and false income tax return.

His wife, Stephanie Roskovski, pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count filing a false income tax return.

The couple pleaded guilty to separate charges May 28 related to defrauding the Butler Health System between 2011 and 2017 during Stephanie Roskovski's employment as chief operating officer for the system.

Since pleading guilty, Scott Roskovski asked the court to reschedule or delay his sentencing a handful of times. He also had asked a judge to withdraw his guilty plea.

District Judge William Stickman IV denied the withdrawal request, and Scott Roskovski on Monday asked for another rescheduling. Stickman granted the request with the caveat that no more extensions of time will be allowed.

Stickman rescheduled Scott Roskovski's sentencing for April 28.

Scott Roskovski also fired both of his lawyers, Michael A. Comber and S. Wesley Gorman, last week.

This latest activity comes after Stickman rejected Scott Roskovski's motion to withdraw his guilty plea in February.

According to a court motion filed by the two lawyers, Roskovski fired Comber and Gorman on Friday and hired Stephen S. Stallings and Kiersten Mallon of the law offices of Stephen S. Stallings in Pittsburgh. The lawyers could not be reached for comment.

In Stickman's February decision to reject Scott Roskovski's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, the judge wrote, “Mr. Roskovski has offered no evidence to support a defense to the charges or cast doubt on the overwhelming proof of his guilt.”

Stickman also pointed out that Roskovski admitted responsibility for filing false tax returns from 2012 to 2017.

Roskovski is facing two years to 30 months in prison and was found to owe the IRS $250,001 to $550,000, which he would have to pay back, according to Stickman's findings.

Meanwhile, Stephanie Roskovski also recently has filed a request to reschedule her sentencing. She was previously scheduled to be sentenced March 11, but Stickman accepted a Feb. 11 request to push the sentencing date to April 13.

She pleaded guilty to counts eight and 42 of the superseding indictment.

She is facing more than four years in prison and potentially more than $2 million in combined fines, fees and restitution as part of her plea deal.
