David Hebert was sentenced this week in the case involving former Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia, who is serving a six-year prison sentence after being convicted of defrauding investors in a smartphone app and extorting money from marijuana companies.
A man who pleaded guilty to conspiring with a former Massachusetts mayor to extort a marijuana vendor has been sentenced to three years of probation.
Hebert, 57, of Westport, helped Correia extort a marijuana vendor by demanding that the vendor buy $12,500 worth of fundraising tickets to two of Correia's campaign fundraisers in exchange for a letter of approval from the city it needed in order to get a license, authorities said. Authorities say Hebert also lied to federal agents about his role in the scheme.
