A 39-year-old Anchorage man will spend 17 months in prison for selling four one pound bricks of explosive material to an FBI informant, according to federal court records.
In early-June, Reginald Jesse Hawley sold the materials illegally for $2,000, at $500 per brick, according to a criminal complaint. Purchased with FBI agent cashier funds, federal law enforcement captured the exchange on video.
Hawley, who was convicted of sexual assault in 2009, was originally charged for being a felon in possession of a firearm and distribution of explosives without a federal explosives license. But, in September, Hawley changed his plea, court records show.
Friday, U.S. District Court judge Sharon Gleason accepted a plea agreement, which dropped the charge for not having a license to sell explosives. Hawley pleaded guilty to the charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Howley will be on three years of supervised release, after his 17 month prison sentence.
