Rocky Allen, Felony Criminal Contempt of Court, Colorado 2024
A former nurse from Colorado has been sentenced to additional prison time for contempt of court, in a move deemed as a serious breach of trust by the courts.
Rocky Allen, a former nurse, was sentenced to serve 12 months in federal prison for felony criminal contempt of court, to run consecutive to his 78-month previous sentence, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer.
The 12-month sentence brings Allen's total prison time to 90 months. Allen, who appeared at the sentencing hearing in custody, was remanded at the conclusion of the hearing.
The contempt of court charge against Allen stems from his decision to travel to Idaho prior to reporting to prison to visit family, despite an order from Judge Raymond P. Moore prohibiting him from traveling there.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Edgar handled the hearing for the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Colorado.
Allen's sentence is a stark reminder of the consequences of failing to adhere to court orders. As a former nurse, he had a duty to uphold the law and respect the authority of the courts.
The case against Allen serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to disregard court orders. The courts will not hesitate to take action against those who fail to comply with their orders.
