PORTLAND, ME—United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty, II announced that Ronald Fuller, 63, of Boothbay Harbor, was sentenced today in United States District Court by Judge George Z. Singal to a total of five years and four months’ imprisonment, consisting of 16 months’ imprisonment for transporting a stolen vehicle in interstate commerce and an additional four years’ imprisonment for violating conditions of supervised release. Fuller pleaded guilty to the stolen vehicle offense on November 8, 2013, and also admitted on that date that he had violated the conditions of his federal supervised release.

According to court documents, in April 2013, Fuller, a suspect in numerous unsolved burglaries in Boothbay Harbor and Wiscasset, stole a 1971 Chevrolet Malibu from Woolwich. He drove the stolen car from Maine to Missouri, where he was found and arrested. Court records show that at the time he committed this new offense, he was on federal supervised release following a 1998 conviction for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.

The investigation was conducted by the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Department, the St. Francois County (Missouri) Sheriff’s Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
