CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A tax-evading New Hampshire man convicted of amassing an arsenal of weapons has been sentenced to 37 years in federal prison.

Attorneys for Ed Brown had argued he suffers from a delusional disorder and asked for the minimum mandatory of 30 years. Prosecutors sought a sentence of almost 50 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge George Singal found Brown competent and sentenced him Monday to 37 years, saying he found Brown “unrepentant.”

Brown and his wife, Elaine, were in a nine-month standoff with authorities in 2007 after they were sentenced to five years in prison for tax evasion.

Elaine Brown was sentenced in October to 35 years in prison.
