BANGOR — A judge sentenced a Skowhegan man for scamming the Paycheck Protection Program.
Nathan Reardon pleaded guilty to five counts of bank fraud in July as part of a plea agreement that dismissed several other charges against him.
Reardon submitted fraudulent applications for PPP loans and direct loans from the Small Business Administration.
He also provided false information on the applications.
Reardon’s attorney expressed that they were disappointed that Reardon was not allowed to go home following the sentencing.
“We were disappointed that the judge didn’t see it fit to let Nathan out today, we were hoping that he would be able to go home after serving over 6 and a half months in the jail but we were satisfied that the judge considered everything and will consider what the next step should be.”
Reardon was sentenced to 20 months behind bars with three years of supervised release.
He was also ordered to pay back the loan he received, which amounted to nearly $60,000.
