PITTSBURGH — A Wexford man was sentenced Friday in federal court to three days imprisonment, five years supervised release and six months home detention on a conviction of bank fraud and tax evasion.

Kevin R. Gallagher also must pay restitution of $226,846, according to a news release from the U.S, Attorney’s office in Pittsburgh. Gallagher defrauded First Niagara Bank from November 2010 to January 2012.

He fraudulently got corporate checks of his employer, A & S Steel Buildings Corp., made payable to subcontractors and forged the signatures of the subcontractor payees. Gallagher deposited the forged checks, which totaled $179,695, into his personal bank account at First Niagara Bank, the release states.

Gallagher also evaded income tax owed by him for tax year 2011, a total of $53,151.
