• A 60-year-old Gillette man has been sentenced to over two years in prison for threatening a federal judge and the Internal Revenue Service over the seizure of his home. Laurence E. Wolff was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson, who ordered three years of supervised release after the 27-month prison term.

• Wolff was convicted in December 2008 of mailing threatening communications to numerous government employees, including IRS employees, which stated that he would defend his property.
