A U.S. Parole Commission hearing examiner recommended that former Rep. George Hansen (R-Ida.) be sent back to prison until at least Nov. 5, Hansen’s attorney said. After serving six months of a five to 15-month sentence for breaking federal financial disclosure laws, Hansen was released on parole from Petersburg Federal Penitentiary on Dec. 19. He was ordered to file monthly financial reports and stay in Virginia. A report was due Jan. 7, but it did not comply with the rules, Hansen’s attorney, Frank Campbell, said. Federal marshals arrested Hansen in Omaha, Neb., where he had had a speaking engagement. Hansen said his arrest was illegal because the marshals had no court order.
