Man who helped hide body violated probation
The Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 13 years, 2 months AGO
A Kalispell man who pleaded guilty to helping dispose of a murder victim’s body in 2010 has been sentenced to 10 years with the state Department of Corrections after violating the conditions of his probation.
Cody Naldrett was originally sentenced to six months in jail and given a 10-year suspended sentence for helping dump the body of 49-year-old Wesley Collins in the woods after two other men beat him to death.
District Judge Stewart Stadler revoked Naldrett’s suspended sentence Thursday after Naldrett acknowledged leaving the state in January without permission.
Naldrett’s attorney, Lane Bennett, says his client went to California and stopped checking in with his probation officer every two weeks.
Stadler recommended that Naldrett be placed in a pre-release center.
