Ruling adds six months to her imprisonment
Tuesday, August 28, 2007
A federal judge on Tuesday gave Toby Young a 27-month prison sentence for her role in helping a Lansing Correctional Facility inmate escape last year.
“I sincerely hope you have learned a lesson from this,” U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum told Young. “What you did could’ve led to far more tragic results.”
Young — a dog-handler who ran a prison program — helped John M. Manard escape from Lansing Correctional Facility in February 2006 by hiding him inside a dog crate in a van she used for a dog-training program at the prison.
The two were captured nearly two weeks later in Tennessee.
Young was sentenced to 21 months in state prison after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting aggravated prison escape and introducing contraband into the prison. She pleaded guilty in March to the federal charge of knowingly providing a firearm to a felon.
Lungstrum said Young’s federal sentence could run at the same time as her state sentence — meaning Tuesday’s ruling will add six months to her imprisonment. After that, she will be under supervised release for three years.
