BOISE- The man who hit a Bureau of Land Management officer with his All Terrain Vehicle last year was found guilty and sentenced in U-S District Court.
Tom Lyn Callen was riding his A-T-V in the Big Sand Bay recreation area at Salmon Creek Reservoir in the late hours of July 3. A B-L-M ranger approached Callen on foot because he was riding in an area off-limits to motorized vehicles.
When the officer was about a foot from the A-T-V, Callen accelerated. His rear wheels hit the officer in the knee and knocked him to the ground.
Callen will spend six months on home confinement with electronic monitoring. Afterward, he'll serve three years supervised release. He must perform 50 hours community service.
