MADISON, WI—John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Dennis J. Deeny, 58, of La Crosse, Wisconsin, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to 21 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $226,663.20.
