TRUCKEE, Calif. — A federal judge Tuesday sentenced John W. Clifton, 21, of Truckee and Sierraville to 27 months in prison for illegally cutting trees last year at Stampede Reservoir. Clifton's sentence, handed down by U.S District Court Judge John A. Mendez, includes $70,430 in restitution to the U.S. Forest Service for destruction of government property. Clifton allegedly felled at least three, and potentially up to 33, mature Jeffrey pine trees in April 2008 on the shoreline of Davies Creek and Stampede Reservoir, north of Truckee.
