Stephen Michael Freeman, a 42-year-old Georgia man, was sentenced to 28 months in federal prison for his role in a Masters ticket scheme.
The Associated Press and Nicholas Papadimas of Fox 28 Media reported the news, noting Freeman's parents, Steven Lee Freeman and Diane Freeman, as well as his sister, Christine Oliverson, were sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud for their role in the scheme.
Altogether, the family members paid approximately $275,500 in restitution as part of their plea deals.
The purpose of the scheme was to use stolen identities to obtain the highly coveted tickets in the Masters' lottery system and then resell those tickets for a profit.
