This undated photo, released by the Pulaski County sheriff's office, shows George Wylie Thompson of Cabot.

A Cabot bookmaker convicted last year of running an illegal gambling ring, setting up a sham marriage and illegally buying firearms from a North Little Rock alderman, was sentenced to 103 months in prison on Friday afternoon.

That will run consecutive to George Wylie Thompson 121-month sentence, putting him behind bars for 18 years.

He will have three years of supervised probation once he serves his time.

He was to be sentenced nearly two months ago, but U.S. District Judge Bill Wilson had sought more information about his medical condition and his military service before handing down a sentence.

After looking at all information involved, Wilson determined that while Thompson did have problems concurrent with someone his age, he didn't have any health conditions "that would make me alter his sentence," Wilson said.

Thompson's military service was also reviewed, one in which he flew 66 helicopter combat missions during his four years of service in the Marine Corps from 1963-67. After rotating out of combat, Thompson was bought up on a court martial for stabbing a Lance Corporal 21 days after being rotated out while stationed on Okinawa, Japan. Thompson's lawyers argued that the incident "proves the mental anguish of serving your country."

This FBI evidence photo included in a federal affidavit filed last week shows the 147 guns seized from George Wylie Thompson of Cabot.

Thompson was convicted of his charges after a December trial with North Little Rock Alderman Sam Baggett, who was found guilty of three charges related to supplying firearms and ammunition to Thompson, a felon.

At Thompson's May hearing, Wilson said he had calculated a guideline sentencing range between 121 and 151 months.

Thompson was previously sentenced in March to 10 years in prison in an unrelated cocaine trafficking case.

Thompson did speak prior to being sentenced, thanking his lawyers, friends and family for their hard work and support.

Cary Gaines, a former North Little Rock alderman who resigned shortly before being federally indicted, meanwhile, previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud while acknowledging that he conspired with Thompson to rig city bids to pay off gambling debts. Gaines was sentenced last month to 4 months in prison.
