(WINSLOW) - A Winslow man was sentenced in Federal Court this week for falsifying mine and health safety administration records.
67-year-old Oril C. Dent was sentenced to a two year term of probation by Chief U. S. District Judge Richard Young.
Between October 2011 and April 2012, Dent operated a training business as an underground and surface coal mining safety instructor.
Dent sold Mine Safety and Health Administration annual hazard certificates of training to coal hauling truck drivers who were required to receive annual training, without actually providing any training to the drivers.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Shellenbarger says Dent may not provide or offer any Mine Safety and Health Training of any kind during the term of probation and must pay a fine in the amount of $3,000.
