Brian Wayne Hillyard | Bonneville County Jail
IDAHO FALLS An Idaho Falls man will spend up to a year on a rider program for possessing child pornography.
Brian Wayne Hillyard, 63, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of possession of child pornography in March before District Judge Bruce Pickett sentenced Hillyard Wednesday. Hillyard received an underlying two to eight year prison sentence that could be served if Hillyard does not successfully complete the rider.
A rider is when a judge sends a person to prison for up to a year to undergo different treatment programs. When the inmate has completed the program, the judge can then decide to send them back to prison or release them on probation.
