A former Nevada politician, Michele Fiore, was convicted of wire fraud for misusing donations intended for a statue honoring a fallen police officer. Fiore used the funds for personal expenses, including plastic surgery, rent, and her daughter's wedding. This act of deception, revealed by an FBI investigation, led to her conviction on six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Fiore, who currently serves as a justice of the peace, will be sentenced in January and is appealing the conviction.
