Three more people have been sentenced in connection with the attempted robbery and killing of Daniel Simonds in St. Lawrence County on May 13, 2008.

Sentenced in federal court Thursday were:

- Brian Latulipe, age 28, of Bombay, New York, was sentenced to 168 months imprisonment

- Kaientanoron Swamp, age 29, of Snye, Quebec, Canada, was sentenced to 151 months imprisonment

- Bryan Herne, aka Wildcat, age 31, of Hogansburg, New York, was sentenced to 135 months imprisonment

All three previously pled guilty to conspiracy to engage in a robbery and possessing, aiding and abetting the possession of a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime. 

As part of their pleas, the three admitted that early on the morning of May 13, 2008, they and the others charged in this case planned to rob Daniel Simonds of a large quantity of Canadian-grown marijuana and money he had stored at his residence at 649 Porter Lynch Road in Stockholm. 

Some of them went to Simonds' residence, where they fought with Simonds. 

During the struggle, Simonds was shot once by one of his assailants. 

He died later that day at a hospital in Vermont.     

Alan Jacobs, age 36, Hogansburg, was previously sentenced to 25 years imprisonment and co-defendant Derek Cooke, age 31, Snye, Quebec, Canada, was previously sentenced to 151 months imprisonment. 

The remaining co-defendants, Chad Edwards, age 22, and Anson Edwards, age 24, both of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, will be sentenced in September 2012.
