72-Year-Old Man Sentenced For Building Illegal Road On Forest Service Land
DELTA COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - A judge in Delta County sentenced a man for illegally building a road on U.S. Forest Service land.
Earl Bennett, 72, bulldozed a road near Crawford in 2014. He will now have to pay $30,000 to fix it and spend a year on probation.
The Forest Service says his work puts the area at risk of a mudslide and also endangers a home nearby.
