Former Pin Oak Manager Sentenced for Stealing from Business

A former manager at Pin Oak Pub & Links in Manchester has been sentenced for stealing from the business.

According to a complaint filed with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, Joshua Dockum of Rock Falls was employed as Pin Oak’s General Manager and Director of Golf from April 2019 to July 2023, during which time he allegedly used various methods of resources to take money from Pin Oak. The complaint says Dockum allegedly did this through credit card transactions, vendor accounts and checking accounts. He is accused of taking over $127,000 during the course of his employment.

In February 2024, Dockum was charged with First Degree Theft and Forgery. Delaware County Attorney John Bernau tells KMCH that Dockum pleaded guilty to both counts, as well as Identity Theft.

On Tuesday, Dockum was sentenced to a total of ten years in prison (not suspended). He was also ordered to pay victim restitution that will be determined at a later hearing. 

Bernau says Dockum must report to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office within 48 hours to be transported or post a $75,000 cash bond to stay out should he decide to appeal.
