TACOMA – A Rochester man was sentenced Friday in federal court to 30 months in prison and a fine of more than $12,000 for the theft of trees worth more than $60,000. The $12,430 fine represents the amount of money Greg A. Gray would have paid had he obtained Forest Service permits for the trees. The trees included alpine and sub-alpine fir and mountain hemlock.
