WILKES-BARRE -- The first of five people targeted in an investigation into the Wilkes-Barre City Federal Credit Union was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
Jeffrey Serafin of Wyoming was in federal court in Wilkes-Barre Tuesday morning.
He pleaded guilty to forging his mother in law's signature on an application to refinance a loan.
Serafin was sentenced to a single day in jail, but because he spent a night in jail after his arrest he was given credit for time served.
The judge also ordered Serafin to pay $11,000 in restitution.
