Ex-Connecticut man gets year in prison for solar panel fraud

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) A former Connecticut man who pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining more than $9 million from a federal economic stimulus program intended for alternate energy projects has been sentenced to more than a year in prison.

Walter Craig Bradway, formerly of Glastonbury, now of Holmes Beach, Florida, was sentenced Monday in federal court to a year and a month behind bars and ordered to pay restitution and perform 600 hours of community service.

Prosecutors say Bradway submitted more than 300 fraudulent applications for work that was never performed or was exaggerated to increase costs to the Specified Energy Property Program. The program was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and was meant to cover a portion of the cost of installing solar panels. Bradway also falsified documentation.
