(KCPW News) Environmental activist Tim DeChristopher has been found guilty of disrupting a federal oil and gas lease auction in December, 2008.
DeChristopher bid on $1.8 million in parcels but didn’t intend to pay for them as a way of protesting the auction.
He was convicted of both felony charges he faced of interfering and making false representations at a government auction.
He now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $750,000 fine when he’s sentenced later this year.
