34-year-old actor Antwon Tanner of the CW’s One Tree Hill was sentenced to three months in jail in a federal court in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
Tanner pleaded guilty in August to identity theft charges for his role in the sale of more than a dozen fake Social Security Numbers for $10,000. A federal judge in Brooklyn gave Tanner until April 30th to report to prison. Had the case gone to trial, Tanner could have been jailed for up to ten years. Upon his release, Tanner must serve an additional five months of home confinement.
Tanner was caught in a sting trying to sell sixteen fake numbers and three cards, and admitted to knowledge that the numbers would be used to fraudulently purchase items. Had Tanner rejected the plea, in addition to ten years in prison, the actor could have been slapped with a $250,000 fine. The CW has not commented on the actor’s arrest, nor have they addressed his future on One Tree Hill.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this young man. Here you have been given a chance to become something and you blow on a lousy 10 grand. How stupid can you be? God has given you an incredible opportunity. Didn’t you know that you were supposed to leave that old way of life behind?
