RIVERSIDE — A Rancho Cucamonga man was sentenced Monday to 12 months and one day in prison for aiding Upland’s former mayor in soliciting a bribe from a city business.
Anthony Orlando Sanchez, 37, pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to solicit bribes on behalf of former Upland Mayor John Pomierski.
Sanchez, who is scheduled to surrender to authorities on Oct. 29, will be on supervised release for two years following his time in prison.
“I understand the seriousness of the crime I’ve committed and it’s impact on the community,” Sanchez said in court. “I take full responsibility for my action and I want to get on with my life.”
Sanchez was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Riverside.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office was seeking a 15-month sentence.
Sanchez’s attorney, Anthony Brooklier, was seeking time served due to Sanchez spending four months in custody earlier this year.
Brooklier said the prison time could cause Sanchez to lose a consulting job he recently obtained for a solar company as well as his ability to visit his two daughters.

Hmmmmmmmm now that sounds like a great candidate a fortune 500 company wants as a consultant. We are so proud of him for obtaining this potential consultant position……probably one of those dirty money govt funded bankrupt solar company wants Anthony to teach them how to run from their responsibilities and cheat people out of their money??? Gooooooooooo Team ……brooklier Ur a brilliant attorney. This guys public record speaks for itself
His attorney will just have to be the “go between” for the company.
This, so-called, Solar Company does not need him to be physically present at the job- as #1 stated, the “company wants Anthony to teach them how to run from their responsibilities and cheat people out of their money??”
Phone consultations will do, and attorney visits to protect himself from recorded phone conversations.
What company wants a criminal to be their phone consultation representative responding from an ankle bracelet?? Remind me not to call on them for guidance if these are the kinds of decisions they make. Must pay great my friend. I challenge this so-called employer to seek due diligence and perform a background check on this thief and let the cards fall where they may. This guys a clown and way out of touch with reality. Run Forrest run from your problems and one day you will wake up and regret your actions against our community and your family. Let justice be served for the sake of all of us hard working tax payers……in which….we can stay tuned to see what the IRS does with this greedy thief once the courts are done with him. I bet my kidney he hasn’t paid taxes in years
Sounds like #2 might be mr. Sancho himself . Get out of our city when they release you back to society, we need genuine contributors here not con artists
