A former bank president who cooperated with federal officials in investigating a cattle and banking scam has gotten two months shaved off his prison term.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston reduced Charles Henthorn's from nine months to seven months.

The 48-year-old former president of the First National Bank of Ronceverte has cooperated with authorities as they investigate the fallout from the scam.

Prosecutors say Greenbrier County resident Kevin O'Brien fraudulently sold the same herd of cattle to different buyers in West Virginia, Virginia, Texas, Illinois and Nebraska.

In October, O'Brien was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Henthorn was convicted of taking bribes from O'Brien.
