BURLINGTON — A former Quechee resident who was convicted of defrauding Upper Valley businesses has had his federal prison sentence delayed a fourth time following a positive COVID-19 test, according to court documents.
Ryan Wall, who has yet to serve any time following his June 2020 sentencing, already received three delays from a federal judge over worries that he could contract the coronavirus in prison.
In an order dated July 2, U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Crawford granted a motion filed by Wall’s attorney requesting an extension on the date Wall is supposed to turn himself in at FPC Montgomery, a federal prison in Alabama, on fraud charges.
