Two Members of White Supremacist Kehoe Family Sentenced on Weapons Charges
A federal judge in Arizona today handed down the maximum 10-year sentence to the patriarch of a family of white supremacists who have had run-ins with the law in various states over the past three decades.
Kirby K. Kehoe, 65, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow in Phoenix after pleading guilty in February to being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition. His son, Cheyne C. Kehoe, 35, was sentenced to 41 months in prison after pleading to being a felon in possession of firearms.
The father-son team struck plea bargains with federal prosecutors instead of going to trial on additional charges that were dismissed as part of the deal. Upon completion of their prison sentences, both will serve three years of supervised release.
