Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus, 62, was sentenced to 87 months in prison, and three years of supervised release, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nevada.
DeLemus is the first person to be sentenced in connection with the “Battle of Bunkerville,” a six-day standoff between armed ranchers and U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials.

DeLemus pleaded guilty in August to one count of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States and one count of interstate travel in aid of extortion.
