Jason Corey Poorman, Sr., age 43, was sentenced to 12 months in federal prison, followed by 1 year of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $25.
Poorman was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 14, 2019. He pled guilty on January 6, 2020.
