Woodbury Man Receives Presidential Pardon

WASHINGTON (AP) ― A Woodbury, Minnesota, man was one of 15 people to receive a presidential pardon today.
  
President Bush pardoned Timothy Alfred Thone of Woodbury.
  
Thone was sentenced in 1987 to two years probation for making a false statement to the Department of Housing and Urban Development to obtain a mortgage.
  
Bush has been stingy about handing out pardons.
  
With about nine months left in his administration, he has granted 157 pardons. That's less than half as many as Presidents Clinton or Reagan issued during their time in office. Both were two-term presidents.
