CLAYTON — A former Democratic campaign consultant who has drawn the interest of law enforcement agencies across the St. Louis area was sentenced Friday to four years in prison after he entered pleas on three felony charges.

Milton "Skip" Ohlsen III, 38, pleaded guilty of stealing and unlawful use of a weapon, and no contest to a charge of second-degree domestic assault.

He had worked on former Missouri state Sen. Jeff Smith's unsuccessful 2004 congressional campaign and was responsible for the fliers at the center of a federal corruption probe. Smith and former Rep. Steve Brown of Clayton eventually were ensnared in a federal investigation that led them to resign and plead guilty to obstruction of justice charges.

Ohlsen was sentenced in October to 30 months in federal prison on fraud and firearms charges.

Under a plea bargain with the St. Louis County prosecutor's office, Judge Michael T. Jamison ordered Ohlsen to a four-year term to run concurrently with his federal sentence.

There was no mention at the hearing of Ohlsen's background in politics or of an investigation into whether he might be linked to an Oct. 16, 2008, bombing that injured a lawyer in a Clayton parking garage.

According to a federal search warrant obtained by the Post-Dispatch, investigators searched Ohlsen's apartment nearly a year ago for evidence related to the bombing.

Authorities have said that the bomb may have been intended for another lawyer with a similar car, who had represented Ohlsen's wife in a divorce.

At Friday's hearing, Ohlsen admitted selling a 1964 Beechcraft airplane, worth about $21,000, a month after an August 2008 divorce decree made it his wife's property.

Ohlsen hesitated before pleading guilty in that instance, saying he thought the agreement was for him to plead no contest. He told the judge he did not believe he stole the plane because his wife's name was never on the title or registration. He eventually agreed that the charge was "substantially correct."

He also admitted that he illicitly possessed a loaded Glock .40-caliber pistol in his car when he was pulled over in March 2008 on Interstate 170 at Ladue Road.

Ohlsen entered a no contest plea to a charge that he choked his wife in December 2007.
