Former Minnesota elevator manager, who lived lavish lifestyle, sentenced for embezzlement of million

FERGUS FALLS, Minn. — Jerry Hennessey, who admitted stealing more than $5 million from the co-op elevator he managed, was sentenced Friday to eight years in federal prison.

Hennessey admitted in February that he’d used his position at the Ashby (Minn.) Farmers Cooperative Elevator he’d managed for three decades to bankroll big-game hunting trips around the globe and then built a showroom at his house for his trophies.

The courtroom was full with about 50 people as U.S. District Court Judge John R. Tunheim pronounced an eight-year sentence, plus three years of supervised probation.

As part of a deal to plead guilty in February, Hennessey agreed to up to $5.3 million in restitution for the fraud, as well as $1.2 million repayment to the IRS, for income tax.
