Bradenton cabinet company partner sentenced to prison in fraud case

The former president of a Bradenton cabinet company was sentenced to 21 months in prison after authorities say she defrauded customers who paid in some cases tens of thousands of dollars for products that were never delivered. 

Nicole Anderson, 39, a partner in M&L Cabinets, was convicted in a felony scheme to defraud over $50,000, police reported this week. She was ordered to pay $90,000 in restitution and be on probation for 20 years, officials say.

Nearly two dozen former customers of M&L Cabinets reported making thousands of dollars in down payments for unfinished kitchen renovations as well as products and services never received or rendered, police say.
