BANGOR — A 26-year-old Franklin woman is going to prison for two years for burning down a house co-owned by her mother that had been forfeited to the federal government.
Cecelia Nicole Sanborn, of Franklin, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor. She also was ordered to pay restitution of $139,700.
According to court records, the U.S. District Court in 2006 ordered a residence and a parcel of land in Sorrento be forfeited after Sanborn’s mother and a man she was living with were convicted of drug trafficking.
Two days after her mother’s conviction, Sanborn climbed into the house, sprayed lighter fluid and started a fire.
She pleaded guilty in March 2010 to causing damage to federal property of over $1,000.
