COLORADO - An Alpharetta, Ga., man is among a group indicted Tuesday on charges of fraud related to a prison-building contract in Colorado. Edgar J. Beaudreault Jr., 60, of Alpharetta, Howard A. Sperling, 43, of San Diego, and Robert B. Surles, 62, of Canon City, Colo., were indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple charges. The indictment alleges from August 2003 through January 2004, the men concocted a scheme to defraud Cornell Corrections of California Inc., a private company based in Ventura that operates corrections facilities for governmental units. In June 2003, Cornell Corrections contracted to have a corrections facility built in Canon City, Colo., for $13 million. The money was to be held in an escrow account until the facility was completed. But in August 2003, the men allegedly got Cornell Corrections to transfer the $13 million to an account in Atlanta controlled by Beaudreault, and allegedly told Cornell the account was an escrow account administered by a reputable bank.
