TIMOTHY WURTH SENTENCED IN U.S. DISTRICT COURT
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Missoula, on November 1, 2007, before Chief U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, TIMOTHY WURTH, a 41-year-old resident of Kalispell, appeared for sentencing. WURTH was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 24 months, concurrent with another sentence
- Special Assessment: $200
- Restitution: $45,672 @ $300/month
- Supervised Release: 3 years
WURTH was sentenced after having been found guilty during a 2-day trial of two counts of money laundering.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that WURTH will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, WURTH does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Racicot prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was conducted by the United States Secret Service.
