Gentry To Report To Bureau Of Prisons Within 45 Days

The United States District Court has ordered former White County business owner Jeff Gentry to report to the Bureau of Prisons within the next 45 days.

A judge sentenced Gentry to serve three years in prison Monday for charges of wire fraud and money laundering. Gentry pleaded guilty last year to his role in a ponzi-type-scheme.

Authorities said the former owner of Gentry Brothers Tractor Supply and Gentry Auto convinced more than 50-individuals to invest funds totaling $43 million. Gentry caused a financial loss to investors of more than $10 million.

It will be up to the Bureau of Prisons as to which facility Gentry will be assigned to.
