8-A Great Falls Tribune Tuesday, May 20, 1986 Brothers sentenced for selling cocaine Shelby brothers Gregory and Jerry Nesbo were sentenced in federal court here Monday to time in jail-type facilities for distributing cocaine in Shelby one year ago. Nesbo, 32, was sentenced to 180 days of a three-year term in confinement, and Jerry Nesbo, 29, was ordered to spend 90 days of a two-year term in jail. The remainder of each term will be probation to be followed by manadatory three-year parole after terms expire. Each also was ordered to pay $50 to the federal Victims of Crime Fund. The Nesbos each pleaded guilty last month to one count of distributing cocaine.

They were among five Shelby men charged by a federal grand jury in February with drug violations. Gregory Nesbo pleaded guilty to distributing cocaine a Drug Enforcement Agency undercover agent on April 9, 1985. In return for his plea and information about drug traffic in northcentral Montana, the U.S. agreed to dismiss three other cocaine distribution charges. Jerry Nesbo pleaded guilty to distributing cocaine on May 31, 1985, in return for the U.S.

dismissing another count alleging he received cocaine from his brother. Steven Ungar of Bozeman, attorney for both men, asked special consideration in sentencing Gregory Nesbo because both he and I his wife suffer health problems. He said Nesbo suffers a severe weight problem and his wife is heavily dependent on him for security. Ungar asked that if Nesbo could not be placed on probation he should be put under house arrest in his own home. Ungar said that procedure has been used elsewhere "as a middle point between probation and prison." Ungar said prison facilities are not designed for people such as Nesbo, who weighs a about 500 pounds.

He said incarceration would be "cruel and unusual punishment" and could endanger Nesbo's health. Ungar said Dr. Gary Buffington, local physician who examined Nesbo, said "drug therapy and diet are not sufficient to treat his condition" and that he needs specialized treatment. Dr. Robert Schueers, psychologist from Lovell, who has counseled Mrs.

Nesbo, said she suffers chronic depression and has had suicidal throughts. He said she is extremely dependent on Nesbo for security and could suffer if he were sent to prison for any length of time. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Rostad said he was sympathetic with Nesbo's personal situation, but "it was only his own actions that put him in the situation he's said intelligence reports indicated Nesbo had been dealing in drugs for three or four years and recommended a sentence equal to the number of years Nesbo had been involved. Hatfield told Nesbo, "I've thought a great deal about this" case, but "anybody who sells drugs is going to jail." He said anybody reading the newspaper can take that as a warning if they are dealing in drugs.

He said it could be possible for Nesbo to "use the 180 days (jail sentence) in a constructive manner" if his family will pay for medical attention for his obesity in a hospital. Upon offering the opportunity to get medical help during his sentence, Hatfield said, "I'm doing this more for his wife than for Ungar told the court Jerry Nesbo's role in drug traffic was mainly as a courier for his brother. He said Jerry Nesbo had employment problems and hoped to go to barber school to learn the trade. Hatfield agreed Jerry Nesbo's role in drug traffic was less than his brother's and. sentenced him to the lesser term.

He made enrollment and completion of a vocational training program a condition of Jerry Nesbo's sentence. Hawaiian pleads guilty to marijuana charge Richard J. Barker, 34, of Kona, Hawaii, pleaded guilty in federal court here last week to one count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Barker, arrested at Great Falls International Airport on March 23, was scheduled for trial this week, but changed his plea to guilty under an agreement with the U.S. attorney's office.

As part of the agreement, Barker reserved his right to appeal the court's earlier denial of his motions to suppress evidence, to learn the identity of a confidential informant and to dismiss the case. A quantity of marijuana was found in Barker's luggage at the airport.

However, U.S. District Judge Paul G. Hatfield will ask the federal Bureau of Prisons not to assign Shyface to the same prison in which another Poplar man, James Joseph Lizotte, is serving a 20-year sentence for murder.

Shyface testified at Lizotte's trial in federal court in April 1985 that he had witnessed Lizotte stab Ruben Cantrell at a house party the previous October. Cantrell's body was found about a week after the stabbing. Shyface testified at Lizotte's trial that Lizotte had threatened to kill him if he said anything about the incident.

The judge said he will recommend that Shyface be sent to a prison where he can obtain alcoholism treatment and vocational training. Shyface also was ordered to pay the $50 mandatory assessment to the federal Victims of Crime fund. Shyface's court-appointed attorney, Mike Cotter, asked for leniency in sentencing, saying the defendant was a "victim of his upbringing" and had lived in 10 foster homes.

However, Assistant U.S. Attorney George F. Darragh Jr. recommended the maximum 15-year sentence for the charge because the "defendant needs to be confined to protect society." Darragh said evidence in the case supported the contention that force and violence were involved. Another rape charge against Shyface was dismissed in return for his guilty plea to the statu- it took a great deal of courage to tes- tory charge.
