CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A second Colorado man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge stemming from the police seizure of an unregistered Cessna airplane and over $250,000 cash two years ago in Cody.
Gilbert Wayne Wiles Jr. of Denver pleaded guilty Friday to aiding and abetting the operation of an unregistered aircraft. He faces a sentence of between one and two years of probation at his June sentencing.
Before the plea, Wiles had been set to stand trial in federal court in Cheyenne starting Monday.
Pilot Scott Michael Lewis of Englewood, Colorado, pleaded guilty last week to a federal charge of operating an unregistered airplane.
Authorities in Cody seized the Cessna airplane and the cash from Lewis and Wiles in early 2014 after a local airport worker reported they were acting suspiciously.
