The co-owner of the Meat House grocery franchise will spend one month in jail after pleading guilty to fiduciary fraud.
Jason Parent pleaded guilty to Mismanagement of Property on Thursday.
Two years ago the Meat House LLC used $26,000 raised for a Veterans’ Charity to make payroll, including $14,000 in paychecks made out to Parent and co-owner Justin Rosberg.
Parent will face 30 days in the Rockingham County Jail followed by an 11 month suspended sentence.
Rosberg, pleaded guilty to the same charge in January.
Both must pay about $13,000 in restitution to the charity, in addition to a $10,000 fine levied by the court on their company, which closed its doors in early 2014.
