United States v. Ahrensfield, No. 11-2198 (10th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Following a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of obstructing justice stemming from his disclosure of the existence of an ongoing undercover investigation to one of the targets of that investigation. He was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of six months and one day, followed by six months of home confinement and a term of supervised release. Upon review of Defendant's arguments on appeal, the Tenth Circuit agreed with the district court’s conclusion that the government presented sufficient evidence from which the jury could find Defendant obstructed justice when he informed the target of the ongoing undercover investigation. Accordingly, Defendant's conviction and sentence were affirmed.
