The man who pulled off an astounding multi-million dollar heist from inside Georgia’s toughest state prison was sentenced Friday to more than 11 years in federal prison.
In imposing the sentence of 135 months, U.S. District Court Judge Steve Jones also ordered Arthur Lee Cofield Jr. to pay more than $12.5 million in restitution — $11 million for the money he stole from the Charles Schwab account of billionaire movie producer Sidney Kimmel, $1.2 million he stole from an individual in Alabama and $391,000 from a bank.
