Robert Dennison, 36, will serve five years probation, with the first 10 months under house arrest, for his guilt on 116 counts of falsifications between May and August of that year, according to the Associated Press. He was hired that same year by Anker Coal, which later sold the mine to International Coal Group.
When he applied for the position at Sago, according to reports, he gave the company a certification card reflecting his ability to work underground as of June 6, 1996. Dennison told management his certification included foreman status, but was never able to provide evidence as such.
It was later found by state officials that Dennison was never foreman certified, but did have a surface mine truck driving certificate, according to newspaper the Charleston Gazette.
In addition to the probation and home confinement, Dennison鈥檚 plea agreement also included prohibition from seeking miner certification and that he will no longer work in or look for work in the underground mining industry.
鈥淩obert Dennison鈥檚 prosecution again demonstrates that we will not tolerate the knowing violation of federal health and safety laws protecting our nation鈥檚 miners,鈥� MSHA assistant labor secretary Richard Stickler told the paper.
