Contractor pleads guilty to illegal gratuity
Court Alerts
A contractor doing business with the Army has pleaded guilty to providing an illegal gratuity to the former director of construction at Fort Carson.
Wendel P. Torres, a registered agent with a Colorado Springs-based company, faces up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Torres pleaded guilty to a charge that in May 2007 he delivered $3,500 in construction materials to a home owned by William T. Armstrong, former construction division chief at the posts' Directorate of Contracting.
Armstrong was sentenced earlier this month to a year of probation and fined $5,000 for failing to disclose the illegal gratuity.
The charges are part of the Justice Department's ongoing investigation into contracts awarded at Fort Carson.
