sentencing

The last of the Operation Backfire sentences in Oregon was handed down on June 3 to Jacob Ferguson in Judge Ann Aiken's courtroom in Eugene.

Ferguson received no prison time and five year’s probation. He was given no fine, does not have to pay restitution and will pay $200 in court fees.

The sentence, Aiken said, was a result of extensive cooperation between Ferguson and federal prosecutors.
