A former Rhode Island radio host has been sentenced to four months in a Massachusetts halfway house and four months of home confinement for her role in a $40,000 home insurance fraud that improved her North Providence home.
Chief Judge Mary Lisi imposed the sentence on 49-year-old Lori Sergiacomi. Earlier, she sentenced Sergiacomi’s co-defendant, 50-year-old Robert Ricci, to four months of home confinement.
Sergiacomi, who was known on WWLI-FM as Tanya Cruise, must report to the McGrath House in Boston on Sept. 22. She must also pay more than $40,000 restitution and a $2,000 fine.
Prosecutors said Sergiacomi sought to bilk her insurance company by having her home purposefully damaged after her basement flooded during last year’s historic floods.
