BOSTON — Former Bristol County Training Consortium director Hildegar Camara, a co-conspirator of former mayor Jasiel Correia II who admitted to being a middleman who negotiated the shakedown of marijuana vendors looking to do business in Fall River, escaped jail time, instead receiving a sentence of three years of probation with 18 months of home confinement. "I think Mr. Camara ultimately did the right thing for the right reason," said Judge Douglas P. Woodlock, in explaining his decision. Camara, a self-described "mentor" to Correia who considered him "like a son," pleaded guilty Sept. 19, 2019, to two counts of extortion conspiracy, two counts of extortion aiding and abetting; and two counts of making false statements to the government. Correia was convicted in May of 21 counts of extortion, bribery, fraud and corruption in connection to his app company SnoOwl and a scheme to force marijuana vendors to pay bribes in order to receive the letters of non-opposition and host community agreements required to open up shop in Fall River.
