A man convicted of falsely
reporting a gunman at the University
of Virginia 's College of Wise
will spend two years on supervised release.
Bryant Hairston also has to pay more
than $4,000 in restitution to law enforcement and counseling agencies who
responded.
The 20-year-old Martinsville man was sentenced Monday in U.S.
District Court in Abington.
Police say Hairston called 911 and
reported seeing a gunman on campus back on January 23.
The bogus report prompted university
officials to place the school on lockdown.
Hairston was a student at the time.
