INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Three central Indiana men have been sentenced to federal prison after they pleaded guilty to burning a cross in the yard of a black family's home in 2008.

Forty-one-year-old Richard LaShure was sentenced to 15 months in prison and two years probation Thursday in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis.

His son, 20-year-old Richard Logue, was sentenced to one year in prison and two years probation. A third man, 20-year-old Aaron Latham, was sentenced to one year in prison and three years probation.

All three men from Muncie were convicted on charges they conspired to violate civil rights and interfered with housing rights.
