On Monday, Fifth District Court Judge Robert W. Lane sentenced Peter Gust Liakopoulos, formerly a Nye County commissioner, on one felony charge of asking or receiving a bribe by executive or administrative officer and two gross misdemeanor charges of offering reward for appointment and grafting by public officer.

Liakopoulos was sentenced to a term of five years probation on the felony charge and a term of three years probation on each of the gross misdemeanor charges. However, the court ordered that all three sentences run concurrent to each other.

The court ordered Liakopoulos to reimburse the Nye County Public Defenders office in the amount of $500, complete 500 hours of community service, disclose these convictions to a current or future employer and, at Liakopoulos’ own expense, enter and complete an ethics class.

The court also ordered Liakopoulos to serve 60 days in Nye County Detention Center. However, that condition was stayed pending his appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
