CONCORD – A Bath man was sentenced today in federal court for stealing $225,200 from an elderly disabled veteran, U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.
Donald Estes, 49, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul J. Barbadoro to 21 months in prison and 1 year of supervised release. He was also sentenced to pay $225,200 in restitution. On February 2, 2026, Estes pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud.
“The defendant stole almost a quarter million dollars from an elderly disabled veteran to squander on things like a snowmobile and jewelry. Today’s sentence shows that those who victimize the men and women who served our country face federal imprisonment,” said U.S. Attorney Creegan.
