DENVER—The former director of construction at Fort Carson has been sentenced to a year on probation and fined $5,000 for failing to disclose nearly $3,500 in gifts from a contractor doing business with the Army.
William T. Armstrong was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Denver.
He pleaded guilty in September to one count of making a false statement when he failed to disclose the gifts on a form he filled out in January 2008.
He could have received up to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
Armstrong worked as construction division chief at the post’s Directorate of Contracting, which is responsible for $160 million a year in spending, according to its website.
