Former West paramedic sentenced to almost 2 years in prison
Bryce Reed, a former West paramedic, sobbed as he read a statement during his sentencing Wednesday taking full responsibility for his incredibly stupid mistake, saying he didnt want the shadow of his misdeeds to incriminate the fallen firefighters of West.
Heroes dont deserve to be associated with this, he said.
Reed, 31, was sentenced to serve 21 months in prison each for conspiracy to make a destructive device and attempting to tamper with evidence. He also will pay a total fine of $2,000.
Reed will serve the sentences concurrently and begin his sentence at a later date, which has yet to be decided, the judge determined.
