Former WFAN sports radio host Craig Carton was sentenced on Friday to 3 1/2 years (42 months) in prison and three years probation for his involvement in a ticket fraud scheme.

Carton faced up to 45 years in prison after he was convicted last November of conspiracy, wire fraud and securities fraud.

He collected millions of dollars from investors, pretending he had access to VIP tickets to sporting events and concerts.

But in reality, he used that money to pay off gambling debts and landscaping bills.
