Timothy Paul Gatschet, the 59-year-old Victoria man arrested in April 2008 after a pipe bomb and other explosives materials were found in his home, was sentenced Monday in Ellis County court.

Appearing before District Judge Ed Bouker, Gatschet received a 43-month prison term after pleading in March to criminal use of an explosive device and attempted use of an explosive device, which would have tacked on an additional 12 months had the sentences not been ruled to run concurrently.

Gatschet was arrested in April 2008 after Ellis County Sheriff's officers were serving a search warrant at his home.

At the time of the arrest, Gatschet was in Wichita, where he was licensed as a physician. Gatschet gave up his license in April in the face of disciplinary proceedings by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts.

He has been remanded into the custody of the Ellis County Sheriff's office until he can be transported to a correctional facility.
