Kittery Man Sentenced to Over 3 Years in Prison for Providing False Document to Probation Officer and Violating Release Conditions
Portland, Maine – Michael Rock, 54, of Kittery, Maine, was sentenced to 39 months in prison for providing a false document to his federal probation officer and violating conditions of supervised release. Rock was also sentenced to three years of supervised release following his release from prison.
According to court records, in November 2013, Rock was on federal supervised release following a conviction in the District of Maine for providing false information in a credit application. He had previously been convicted twice in this district for mail fraud. As a result of his convictions, he owed over $60,000 in restitution to his victims.
As part of his supervised release, Rock was required to answer truthfully all inquiries by his probation officer and provide the officer with any requested financial information. After Rock’s probation officer received information leading her to suspect that he had violated his release conditions, she instructed him to complete a financial disclosure form. On the form, Rock failed to disclose a bank account through which he conducted most of his financial activity. The officer’s investigation also revealed that Rock failed to disclose that he was paying rent for a second residence in York in addition to the residence in Kittery that he disclosed.
The U.S. Probation Office conducted the investigation. Rock pleaded guilty to the charges on May 8, 2014.
U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced the sentence. Contact for further information, Assistant United States Attorney Craig M. Wolff, (207) 780-3257.
