Mail fraud has once again reared its ugly head in the state of Wyoming, with TRACY REIGHARD, 62, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, being sentenced to six months of imprisonment for his role in a mail fraud scheme.
On August 25, 2020, Federal District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson handed down the sentence, which will be followed by thirty-six months of supervised release. REIGHARD was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $2,000.00 and a $100.00 special assessment. The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated this case, which was initiated after REIGHARD was arrested in Laramie County.
The sentence is a reminder that mail fraud is a serious crime that will not be taken lightly by law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice are committed to rooting out this type of criminal activity and bringing those responsible to justice.
In another case, SPENCER JAMES BARBOUR, 47, of Gillette, Wyoming, was sentenced to one hundred twenty months of imprisonment for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. BARBOUR was arrested in Buffalo, Wyoming, and his sentence will be followed by sixty months of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $500.00 and a $100.00 special assessment.
The investigation into BARBOUR‘s activities was conducted by the Buffalo Police Department and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. The case highlights the ongoing problem of methamphetamine distribution in Wyoming and the need for law enforcement to continue to crack down on this type of criminal activity.
In a separate case, WILLIAM RONALD BAKER, 58, of Phoenix, Arizona, was sentenced to one hundred twenty months of imprisonment for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. BAKER was arrested in Evanston, Wyoming, and his sentence will be followed by sixty months of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay community restitution in the amount of $400.00 and a $100.00 special assessment. The U.S. Secret Service investigated this case, which is another example of the federal government’s commitment to combating drug trafficking in Wyoming.
These cases demonstrate the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. By working together, law enforcement can identify and prosecute those involved in serious crimes like mail fraud and methamphetamine distribution, and bring them to justice.
