Denning was arrested and his indictment said he connected a confidential source with heavy hitters across the country who would deliver drugs through the mail.
He pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to distribute charge last spring.
The judge made her final sentence this afternoon.
He will spend 15 months in prison.
Denning told the judge, “I am accountable for my actions. It’s inexcusable.”
The judge allowed Denning to report to prison at a later date where he will serve 15 months, then be on supervised release for the following two years.
