AR Times: “U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker on Friday sentenced Jeremy Hutchinson, the former Republican senator, to 46 months in prison.
Hutchinson, son of former U.S. Sen. Tim Hutchinson and nephew of former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, has been all over the news in recent years for charges of bribery, submitting false income taxes and being a deadbeat dad who doesn’t pay child support.
Baker set a consecutive sentence of 46 months, which broke down into 18 months for bribery and 28 months for tax fraud. Through his attorney, Timothy Dudley, Hutchinson requested to self report to prison. Baker granted the request. He’s due on March 6, and he requested to be placed in the Texarkana location, though that decision is left for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
In addition to the prison sentence, Hutchinson will serve at least three years of supervised release where he will not be allowed to start new credit lines without approval from a probation officer. The officer will also be granted access to Hutchinson’s funds.”
