GUILTY UT - Troy Knapp, mountain man, burglary & weapon charges, 2007

Thanks Woofie! I read about his capture early this morning.

His life on the run would have been hard. But being caged will be harder than usual on him simply because he isn't used to being inside, he isn't used to people. He will have big time problems adjusting.

He might have more sympathy if he didn't mock and leave swastikas, but least he was only stealing supplies and no more serious crime all those years, hopefully.

From June 2014:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest...-Knapp-Utah-Mountain-Man-gets-decade-sentence

Knapp, 46, known by many as the "Mountain Man," pleaded guilty Monday to federal weapon and multiple state burglary charges in an agreement that will likely put him in federal prison until the end of 2024...

He was sentenced to one to 15 years on each of the 10 felony burglary charges, with the state sentences running concurrent with each other and the federal sentence.

State officials will determine whether Knapp spends any more time behind bars. But prosecutors and Knapp's attorneys said the intent was for Knapp to serve his entire sentence in federal prison.
