Sentencing Date Set For Denny Hecker

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Fallen Twin Cities auto magnate Denny Hecker now has a sentencing date.

Hecker is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 11 in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis.

Hecker pleaded guilty last September to conspiracy and bankruptcy fraud charges. Prosecutors say he duped Chrysler Financial out of more than $13 million in loans.

Prosecutors are recommending the maximum 10-year sentence for Hecker. He's being held in the Sherburne County Jail, awaiting sentencing.
