One of the three people serving Wyoming in Congress wrote a letter Tuesday to President Donald Trump, urging him to pardon a 65-year-old man who spent months in prison for deleting emissions systems from diesel trucks.

Troy Lake has been released early from the Colorado-based federal prison that held him for seven months . He is now on home confinement in Cheyenne with an ankle monitor.

A 65-year-old father, grandfather, husband and longtime mechanic, Lake was for years the go-to source in helping people and shops correct problems caused by unwieldy, early-2000s-era emissions control systems in diesel trucks.

He was sentenced in December 2024 to one year in prison, for violating the Clean Air Act with his involvement in tunes and emissions “deletes.”
