       Georgia Man Sentenced for Using Defunct Trucking Company to
       Steal More Than $170,000 in COVID-19 Relief Funds
       Friday, September 18, 2026 Press Release
       WASHINGTON – Preston Fleming, 68, of Ducula, Georgia was
       sentenced today in U.S. District Court to 6-months of home
       confinement in connection with a scheme to fraudulently obtain
       more than $170,000 in COVID-19 disaster relief loans for a
       trucking company that had ceased operating years earlier,
       announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
       “Fleming lied about his company’s operations, lied about how
       the money would be used, and then lied again to have the loan
       forgiven, all so he could build himself a new home with pandemic
       relief funds meant to save struggling small businesses,” said
       U.S. Attorney Pirro. “My office will continue to hold
       accountable anyone who treated disaster relief programs as a
       personal piggy bank.”
