HAMMOND — Former North Township supervisor Robert Cantrell is requesting early release from the three years of supervised release he began serving after spending time behind bars on federal fraud and income tax convictions.
Cantrell, through his attorney Kevin Milner, argues he has already served 13 months of his three-year supervision period, which legally enables him to petition for early termination.
Cantrell says he is 74, retired, and spends the bulk of his time with his wife and grandchildren.
“He has been 100 percent compliant in every aspect of his supervision without incident,” the motion reads.
Milner says neither the probation department nor prosecutors oppose the request.
Cantrell was sentenced in 2009 to 6.5 years in prison for using his position in public office to steer contracts to a substance abuse counseling company in exchange for cash kickbacks. He also was found guilty of insurance fraud for “deceptively procuring” township-funded health insurance coverage for two of his children and filing false income tax returns.
