BOSTON, MA - A Manchester-By-The-Sea man is scheduled for arraignment tomorrow on a larceny charge for allegedly defrauding a former Somerville bank, Attorney General Tom Reilly's Office announced today.
L. Sanders Corbit, 46, was indicted June 28 by a Middle-sex County grand jury and arraigned on June 30 in Middlesex Superior Court.
Corbit allegedly defrauded the Somerset Savings Bank when he operated Corbit Environmental Inc. out of 38 Montvale Ave., in Stoneham. The bank hired the company to inspect, assess and write reports on environmental hazards on land for sale.
Between February 1994 and March 1996, Corbit allegedly submitted 12 environmental site assessment reports to the Somerset Savings Bank with forged signatures of a licensed site professional, an environmental scientist or professional engineer.
Corbit faces up to five years in state prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted. Assistant Attorney General Howard Wise is prosecuting the case, which was investigated jointly by the Environmental Protection Agency and State Police assigned to AG Reilly's Office.
