In March 2000, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that Bodee Baldwin of Amarillo, Texas, has been formally sentenced in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville, Va., for making false statements to a federal agency.
Baldwin was sentenced Feb. 16, 2000 to 2 years probation, fined $10,000, and ordered to pay $2,300 in restitution to the victim of the standing count of making a false statement. He was also ordered to pay $100 to a crimes victims fund.
In July 1999, Baldwin was indicted on five counts of false statements to a federal agency and one count of wire fraud. According to evidence presented in the case, Baldwin provided falsified Coggins test reports when he sold four horses. The test reports had been altered to match horses he brought into Virginia to sell.
The charges arose from an investigation initiated by APHIS' investigative and enforcement services unit. IES helps the animal and agricultural industries achieve compliance with APHIS regulations.
