A Baltimore businessman gets jail for selling his clients' wine without their knowledge. By W. Blake Gray | Posted Thursday, 16-May-2019 Federal prison is getting another enophile. The owner of Safe Harbour Wine Storage in the Baltimore suburb of Glen Burnie pled guilty in federal court on Tuesday to selling his customers' wine and pocketing the money, and is expected to serve 18 months in federal prison. William "Billy" Holder, 54, was originally charged with five counts of wire fraud and five counts of interstate transportation of stolen goods. He reached a plea agreement for one wire fraud count, admitting that he faxed a purchase agreement in June 2017 to sell 216 bottles of wine to a broker in Napa for $11,800. |
