President Obama pardons 3 Idahoans, commutes sentence for 1

During his final hours in office, President Barack Obama has added four Idahoans to the White House list of pardons and commutations.

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was not among them. Bergdahl, who grew up in Hailey, and his legal team asked Obama late last year for a pre-emptive pardon of his charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, over leaving his post in Afghanistan in 2009. He may face a court-martial.

The president on Tuesday granted commuted sentences to 209 people and pardons to 64 people. Obama on Thursday granted commuted sentences to 330 people.

Here are the individuals from Idaho and their offenses and sentences, according to the White House:
