The sentencing of the final defendant in Operation Rockfish and the only one of the 15 to enter a not guilty plea in the police corruption case is scheduled for September 12.

Senior Judge Malcolm J. Howard set the sentencing of Antonio Tillmon for 10 a.m. in the United States courthouse in Greenville, according to a notice filed Wednesday in electronic records.

Tillmon’s attorney had requested a new trial for his client in June after he was found guilty in May.

In July the government filed its objections to a new trial. An order on Tillmon’s motion and the government’s objections has not yet been entered into the electronic record.
