Tre Arrow, the man who took part in an infamous eco-sabotage was sentenced to 78 months in prison Tuesday.

The judge ruled that Arrow, birth name Michael Scarpitti, will spend about two years in jail because of the credit for time he served in a Canadian prison after his arrest in 2004.

In early June, Arrow -- who was once one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives -- accepted the deal, pleading guilty to two counts of arson.

He was convicted for helping to torch logging trucks in Estacada in 2001. Federal agents say the environmental activist destroyed several concrete mixing trucks in Portland.

"I feel I am not a danger or threat to the public," Arrow said. "I take responsibility for my actions. I am disheartened by what I see as the state of the world. I feel corporations ahve usurped the government's power."

His lawyers say Arrow agreed to the plea deal because it guarantees his freedom. He was facing up to life in prison for the eco-arson related charges.

He was also ordered to pay $154,000 in restitution.

Schoppert Logging was firebombed in 2001, the family business that started with a single bull dozer. Because it was domestic terrorism there was no insurance coverage.

The timing devices went off at 3 a.m., when loggers were normally heading toward trucks. Schoppert said they could have easily killed someone.

“He was an honest, hard working man and it devastated him,” Ray Shoppert’s daughter-in-law Debbie said.

“They (environmentalists) think loggers hate the forest -- he was the greatest environmentalist I ever knew, he loved the forest,” Schoppert said. “(He) loved the trees and to think someone would destroy the property he worked so hard to get was devastating to him. He was never quite the same.”

 “I guess well see what he learned from all this in a few years,” Schoppert added

"You're a person of great intelligence," Federal judge James A. Redden said. "But it was a serious crime and you know it. After you have served your time, go back to being that person."

Arrow will serve his time at a federal prison in Sheridan.

In addition, Arrow has to be fully employed and have a stable residence, and will be prohibited from knowingly associating with individuals and groups, such as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).
