The man who pleaded guilty to hiding information about the 2008 bombing of a downtown Clayton parking garage will spend three years on probation. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri announced the sentencing late Tuesday afternoon in a news release.
Aaron Reid, 26, of St. Louis previously pleaded guilty to one count of misprision of a felony. He faced up to three years in prison and fines up to $250,000.
