A man from Eau Claire was found guilty of wire fraud in federal court.
Robert Carter was accused of stealing more than 510-thousand dollars in a fraud scheme that lasted years. The U-S Department of Justice Western District of Wisconsin says Carter provided false documents and gave false information to companies that lease and sell semi trucks in order to obtain property. He later used that property for his own business, Carter Transportation Group. Carter faces 20 years in prison each for two charges. His hearing is scheduled for October.
