Scott Johnson reports:

Two former Alabama Department of Corrections officers have been sentenced for their roles in a stolen identity tax refund scheme.

Bryant Thompson was sentenced to 120 months in prison, and Quincy Walton was sentenced to 84 months.

Thompson and Walton were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States in January 2014.
