The only member of the Aspen drug trafficking ring busted by the DEA last year that SandBox would like to say thanks to is Jack Fellner. This sentence sounds like justice would be served rather than only technical law. We hope the judge agrees.
Rick Carroll:
"DENVER — An Aspen man arrested last year as part of a federal drug sweep is looking at no prison time.
According to a motion filed Monday in the U.S. District Court of Denver, federal prosecutors are requesting that Jack Fellner spend no time behind bars and be sentenced to three years of supervised release and nine months of home detention.
