Alvarez sentenced to five years state prison on Thursday
Three Valleys Municipal Water Board director Xavier Alvarez was
sentenced to five years in state prison Thursday for insurance fraud,
misappropriation of public funds and
grand theft.
He was led away in handcuffs after the ruling, similar to Sept. 18 when he was found guilty for the three charges at Pomona Superior Court.
He will have to leave the water board and will not be allowed to run for public office again, said Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Sandi Roth. Judge Mike Camacho told Alvarez he needed to let the water board know he could no longer serve.
Alvarez was fined and sentenced to probation in July 2008 for violating the Stolen Valor Act, which criminalizes false claims of military valor. He claimed he had received the medal.
Alvarez was fined and sentenced to perform community service at Loma Linda's Veterans Hospital.
Alvarez represents south Pomona on the water board.
