A Wyoming federal judge recently sentenced three men for counterfeiting, illegal immigrant, and child pornography crimes, according to a news release from the Wyoming U.S. Attorney's Office.

Chief U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Freudenthal sentenced Jose Modesto Adon Cano, 23, of South Ozone Park, N.Y., for possession of equipment to manufacture counterfeit credit cards. Cano was arrested in Laramie. He received one year, nine months of imprisonment, to be followed by three years of probation. Freudenthal also ordered him to pay a $400 fine and a $100 special assessment. Restitution will be determined at a later date.
