A former Rhode Island state senator and business owner will be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Providence next week on 31 counts of bank fraud that victimized a credit union and two banks, according to federal court documents.

James E.

Doyle is also charged with one count of filing a false tax return and one count of failing to file a tax return.
