BANGOR — Former Chelsea Selectwoman Carole Swan, who’s now on trial facing multiple charges of fraud, took a particular interest in the Windsor Road culvert replacement project in 2007, climbing down into a deep crater to the stream bed below.

That was the testimony in U.S. District Court today of Peter Hanson, who attended a prebid meeting at the washed-out road site with three contractors that included Swan’s husband Marshall Swan.

Carole Swan, 55, is accused of falsifying the cost of a culvert for the project that eventually was awarded to Marshall Swan Construction, and her trial on that charge and 10 other fraud charges is in its sixth day.
