WASHINGTON - A former professional football player was sentenced to six months of home confinement for participating in a scheme to defraud the D.C. Metro system through his janitorial supply company.
Brian Carpenter, 60, admitted in Alexandria federal court earlier this year that he charged the Washington Metro Transit Authority for at least $330,000 in cleaning products he never delivered, splitting the profit with employees who were in on the scheme.
