PORT ANGELES — A man taken into custody after a standoff with police on July 4 after breaking into a home was sentenced in federal court today to nine months in prison for violating his parole.
Leslie Guy Wilson, 37, also will face four years of supervised release and up to 180 days in an alcohol treatment center, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Whalley in a prepared statement.
Wilson violated the terms of his probation by drinking alcohol, Whalley said.
On the morning of July 4, a Port Angeles police officer witnessed Wilson entering the garage of a relatives home uninvited at 806 W. A St., Port Angeles.
A standoff with law enforcement lasted four hours before Wilson voluntarily came out of the garage. Because of the potential danger, police closed Eighth Street between Cedar and C streets during the incident.
Wilson, who is a member of the Makah tribe, was unarmed.
He was convicted of murdering Richard and Jeri Husband on the Makah reservation in 1992.
Wilson was sentenced to 24 years in prison but was released in September 2008.
Whalley said he may have been released early for good behavior while in prison.
