Today was the day for him to go in and deal with all his charges. He was charged with felony larceny, 3 counts of felony uttering of checks, and one count of felony obtaining goods under false pretenses.
The felony larceny was when he and two other guys stole some siding off a condemned house and got caught. Oddly enough only Cory was arrested even though Cory named names and Cory had no car so the other guy's had to drive it to the recycling center. Sigh. What is really stupid is the people who "own" the house want to claim the siding is worth 9K to get it put back on...uhhh...the house was condemned by FEMA during the last hurricane and no one can live in the house or put another dwelling on that property...its uninhabitable. I raised my hand and pointed this fact out to the judge who stated that this would all be looked into because restitution would not be to enrich someone!
The checks are the ones he stole from Billy and me and he owes the banks for those in the amount of 1300. The false pretenses is where he bought a tv at walmart then went back in with the receipt and tried to return another one off the shelf and got caught before he got away with it so there was no money to be paid back. Bet you didnt know that was a felony no matter what the amount of money? LOL. That was for less than 80 bucks.
His whole sentence...well he was eligible for up to 8 to 10 months for one set of charges, and 6 to 8 months on another set...because of different classes. They would have been served consecutively so really he was looking at possibly 14 months in prison. He took the plea and he got a 30 day active sentence, 2 months house arrest, 6 months intensive probation and 3 years supervised probation. He has to perform 50 hours of community service, submit to drug testing, take all medication prescribed by his psychiatrist (I got that one thrown in!), then the normal stay away from known drug users blah blah blah. They did waive the supervision fees and community service fees and attorney fees because his restitution fees are so high.
He will start house arrest in June and we wont know exactly when they will start his active sentence for awhile. Hopefully they will let him do it on weekends because of his job. Hopefully they will have the good sense to know that he needs to keep the job in order to pay the restitution so making him go serve 30 days isnt a really wise thing to do. Doing it on weekends makes much better sense to me.
Oddly enough he got called to do his first couple of hours of community service tonight. A neighbor of ours is a deputy sheriff that works at the jail so she called his probation officer and got it approved for Cory to go do some work at her house to was her cars and motorcycles so they would be all nice and clean to go to the harley rally! Hmmm...
