The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Helena, on September 22, 2010, before Senior U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell, ALLON JENKINS, a 40-year-old resident of Helena, appeared for sentencing. JENKINS was sentenced to a term of:

• Prison: 27 months

• Special Assessment: $100

• Supervised Release: 10 years

JENKINS was sentenced after having been found guilty after a trial of failure to register as a sexual offender. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marcia K. Hurd prosecuted the case for the United States.

Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that JENKINS will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, JENKINS does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.

The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service.
