A Washington man was sentenced Wednesday in federal court to 15 months in prison followed by three years supervised release on his conviction of escaping from federal custody.
U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer imposed the sentence on Zack James Sadler, 28, of Jefferson Avenue, after considering that he had run from house arrest and other facilities several times in the past and that Sadler was likely to serve an additional five months due to the loss of his “good-time” credits.
According to information presented to the court, on Aug. 9, Sadler, who was nearing the end of a 60-month prison sentence on a federal conviction for felon in possession of a firearm, escaped from a halfway house in Pittsburgh. The U.S. Marshal Service Fugitive Task Force arrested Sadler on Aug. 20. Sadler’s previous convictions included offenses related to illegal firearm possession, assaults, drugs, burglary and shooting at civilians.
