Former Augusta commissioner Sammie Lee Sias was sentenced to three years in Federal prison on Tuesday after being found guilty last year of destroying records related to a federal investigation and lying about it to law enforcement. In addition to the 36-month prison sentence, Sias was also ordered to pay $5,000 and serve three years of supervised release, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. Sias was recently denied a new trial following his conviction in July 2022.
