Court OKs house arrest sentence for ex-park ranger
Posted at: 09/30/2009 7:13 PM
Former Elephant Butte State Park ranger Clyde Woods was sentenced in 2007 to five years' probation and one year of house arrest in the fatal shooting of 58-year-old Bruce Teschner. Woods pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. The appeals court said Wednesday that state law requirements for a mandatory one-year prison term were met by the house arrest sentence. Teschner was shot during a confrontation in which he refused to pay a $14-a-night camping fee and wouldn't leave the park in southern New Mexico. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press.
