BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Federal authorities say a Colchester man has been sentenced to over five years in prison for narcotics trafficking, wire fraud, and money laundering.
Andrew Hollins, also known as Andrew Jones, was sentenced in Burlington Friday to 62 months following his guilty pleas to two separate indictments.
Authorities say Hollins distributed cocaine and also submitted eight fraudulent applications for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans under his own name, the names of shell businesses, and from identities he stole. Two of the loans were funded, or partially funded for a total of $33,000.
In addition to prison, he was ordered to pay restitution.
Hollins is currently serving a prison sentence in New York state on two gun charges.
