BOSTON -- A Massachusetts man who served time in prison for defrauding Home Depot has been sentenced to more than a year behind bars for doing it again.
Robert Dooley, a former IRS clerk, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of wire fraud. He was sentenced on Thursday in Boston federal court to 18 months in prison.
Authorities say he took items off the shelves and brought them to the return desk in exchange for store credit.
Prosecutors say Dooley, of Salem, carried out the scheme at least 40 times at stores in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts. He received more than $45,000 in fraudulent returns.
