Judge Bell Sentences Ex-Charlotte Councilwoman Tiawana Brown to 10 Months for Pandemic Loan Fraud

Former Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison on September 22, 2026, for wire fraud conspiracy. She and her two daughters defrauded the Small Business Administration of approximately $146,665 in pandemic relief funds between 2020 and 2021. While Brown faced incarceration, her daughters received probation and home detention. The sentencing hearing was marked by a dispute over sentencing guidelines and Brown’s public refusal of a delayed sentence to allow her to graduate from college.

Illinois man’s $14M PPP loan fraud lands him a decade in prison

A south suburban Chicago-area man, Sharhabeel Shreiteh, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison for leading a $14 million Paycheck Protection Program loan fraud scheme. He filed more than 1,500 false PPP loan applications for about 1,025 clients, causing roughly $14 million to be dispersed, most of which was forgiven. He received about $740,000 in kickbacks, spent it on luxury purchases and vacations, and sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to his second wife in Palestine. Co-defendant charges are pending, and he faces a related tax fraud case.
