Leah B. Foley United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts | Department of Justice
Dennis Condron, a 76-year-old resident of Cheshire and owner of D Condron Construction, pleaded guilty in federal court in Springfield, Massachusetts to four counts of tax fraud. The plea was entered before U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni, who set sentencing for May 19, 2026.
Court documents state that over a three-year period, Condron deposited customer payments into his company but also cashed more than half a million dollars in customer checks and diverted the funds to his personal accounts. He failed to inform his tax preparer about these cashed checks, leading to underreporting the business’s gross receipts by hundreds of thousands of dollars on his tax returns. This allowed him to retain money that should have been paid as federal and state income taxes.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Thomas Demeo, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation at the Boston Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Caroline Merck is prosecuting the case.
