Dickey Gets 2 Years Jail Time

27-year-old Luke Dickey of Saint John was sentenced to federal time today on a series of fraud-related charges. Dickey pleaded guilty to running several scams in which he attempted to return items to stores which he had stolen, including baby items and expensive liquor.

Dickey begged the judge to send him to federal prison saying he needs the help for his drug addiction that's only available in a bigger institution.

Judge Henrik Tonning obliged, sentencing Dickey to two years in jail.
