Lapwai Man Pleads Guilty to Failing to Appear
Coeur d’Alene – A shocking case of failure to appear has unfolded in Coeur d’Alene as Delbert Daniel George, 30, of Lapwai, Idaho, pleaded guilty yesterday to failing to appear for sentencing, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
George was indicted by a federal grand jury in Coeur d’Alene on May 20, 2014, for making a false statement to a federal official. However, on May 8, 2014, he failed to appear for sentencing, prompting the court to issue a warrant for his arrest.
George was later arrested by Nez Perce Tribal Police, bringing an end to his period on the run. According to the plea agreement, George admitted to failing to appear for sentencing, which is punishable by up to five years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000.00, and up to three years of supervised release.
Any sentence the court imposes for George’s failure to appear must run consecutive to the sentence he receives for his initial violation of making a false statement to a federal official.
Sentencing is set for January 29, 2015, before Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill at the federal courthouse in Coeur d’Alene. George will remain in custody until his sentencing.
The case was investigated by the Nez Perce Tribal Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This case highlights the severity of failing to appear in court and the consequences that follow.
The Nez Perce Tribal Police and the FBI are commended for their tireless efforts in bringing George to justice. This case serves as a reminder that those who fail to appear in court will be held accountable for their actions.
As the case comes to a close, the community can rest assured that justice has been served. Delbert Daniel George’s actions have consequences, and he will face the music for his failure to appear.
