Man convicted for wire fraud in Brownville
A 64-year-old Vermont man has been found guilty of wire fraud after he submitted false invoices for a federally funded project to start an ammunition depot in Brownville.
Craig Sanborn was convicted last week after a five-day trial at U.S. District Court in Bangor, according to a press release. He was indicted in December 2012 after receiving a $300,000 federally funded Community Development Block grant in 2005 to redevelop a former Brownville rail terminal into an ammunition manufacturing plant. The indictment found that he was reimbursed for funds he wasn't entitled to after submitting false invoices that were supposed to cover development-related costs.
Sanborn could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been scheduled yet. He is currently appealing a separate 10-to-20-year sentence he is serving for manslaughter in New Hampshire related to a fatal explosion at a gunpowder plant in 2010.
