A Warner man has been sentenced to a year in jail for pretending to be an asbestos abatement professional, authorities announced Tuesday.

Jordon M. Dunne, 28, pleaded guilty and has been sentenced in the Sullivan County Superior Court to felony attempted theft by deception for conduct occurring in Lebanon in 2020 and to felony theft by deception and misdemeanor unfair and deceptive business practices for conduct occurring in Claremont in 2022, according to the Attorney General’s Office.

In both cases, Dunne “falsely represented that he was a New Hampshire licensed asbestos abatement professional and that building samples he obtained … were sent to a lab and tested positive for asbestos,” according to the Attorney General’s Office. He was paid more than $1,000 each time.

The court sentenced him to 12 months in jail, with all but 30 days suspended for a period of three years, and ordered him to pay restitution to all victims in full on the day of sentencing. Dunne was ordered to complete two years of probation. He is also prohibited from engaging in asbestos abatement activities or applying to renew his asbestos abatement license during the three-year suspension term.
