2012 Imprisonment
In April 2012 Richey agreed to plead guilty to a retaliation charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping a charge that he broke a protection order when he called the Putnam County courthouse in Ottawa on December 31, 2011. He was living in Mississippi when he called and left a threatening message for Judge Randall Basinger. Judge Basinger was a prosecutor in his 1987 trial. Richey later claimed he was drunk and only joking.
He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in May 2012.
