Ex-Boeing worker gets prison

PHILADELPHIA - January 5, 2009 - That's from a sentencing memorandum for 33-year-old /*Matthew Montgomery*/ of Trevose, who cut wires on a nearly finished military helicopter at /*Boeing*/'s Ridley Park plant. Cutting the wires would prevent the helicopter from flying at all, so there was no danger that doing so would cause a crash.

Montgomery is getting five months in prison and five months on home confinement, plus he must pay $110,000 in restitution.

A second act of vandalism at the Ridley Park plant last year remains under investigation and no one has been charged.
