William Hugh Weygandt,
64, of Granite Bay, the former owner and president of WECO Aerospace
Systems Inc., has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison,
according to U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner.
In November 2013,
after a three-week trial, a federal jury found Mr. Weygandt guilty of
conspiracy to commit fraud involving aircraft parts repair.
“The
jury verdict, conviction, and evidence demonstrated that Weygandt was
the leader of a company engaged in fraud over a number of years,” said
U.S. District Judge John Mendez at Tuesday’s sentencing. “He had the
ability to stop the fraud.… This was, remains, and will always be a
serious offense.”
WECO was a Federal Aviation
Administration-certified repair business with facilities in Lincoln and
Burbank, founded by Mr. Weygandt’s father in 1974.
