A Lower Burrell resident has been sentenced to three years of probation for using unauthorized access devices, as announced by Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti. Jonathan Fry, aged 44, received his sentence from Senior United States District Judge David Stewart Cercone on January 23, 2025.

Court documents reveal that in April 2019, Fry used an elderly neighbor's credit cards and personal information, including their date of birth and social security number. This misuse led to fraudulent transactions such as obtaining a vehicle loan and insurance, opening accounts, and applying for additional credit cards under the victim's name. The actions resulted in losses exceeding $40,000.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brendan T. Conway on behalf of the government. Acting United States Attorney Rivetti acknowledged the role of the United States Postal Inspection Service in investigating the case, which culminated in Fry's prosecution.
