A man from Western Wisconsin will spend three years in prison for federal wire fraud.
A jury found 45-year-old Robert Carter from Eau Claire guilty. He was accused of faking interest in buying a trucking company in Fond du Lac to learn detailed financial information. Carter then altered his own company’s documents using that information, and fraudulently bought several semi-trucks and trailers. The U-S Department of Justice says he stole more than half-a-million dollars in the scheme.
