Wire Fraud Convict Has Until Friday to Object

BROWNVILLE, Maine — A Vermont man convicted of wire fraud for submitting false invoices to a Maine town has reached the end of his allotted time to file objections to a pre-sentencing reporting.

Craig Sanborn has until Friday to file any objections. The final report will be submitted to a judge who will impose Sanborn's sentence. A judge convicted Sanborn in May and he faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Federal prosecutors say he submitted $300,000 worth of false invoices to Brownville for materials and services never bought.

Prosecutors say Sanborn's sentencing could be scheduled sometime within a month.

He was also convicted last year of two counts of negligent homicide and manslaughter in connection with a fatal explosion at a Colebrook, New Hampshire, gun powder plant.
