Paul Montoya (Cowboy State Daily Staff)
Former Laramie City Council candidate Paul Montoya professed his innocence to Cowboy State Daily on Monday despite pleading no contest to disabling Wyoming Public Radio’s transmitters late last month.
“I felt that it was not worth the time and expense to proceed to a hearing to defend my case,” Montoya said. “A plea agreement was best for me and my family.”
Light Sentence
After originally being charged with two felonies for allegedly disabling Wyoming Public Radio’s transmitters and their remote access while he worked at the station in 2022, Montoya received a much lower punishment at his sentencing Nov. 18.
