With over 40 prior dishonesty charges and a history of repeat offenses—including a previous 18-month stint for the same crime—he’s been labeled a high-risk offender who hasn’t learned from past mistakes. The judge slammed his latest spree: 23 thefts, stolen license plates, $5K in fuel swindled, and still owing $6K in reparations. His lawyer admitted supervision failed before; now, with three kids watching him fail, the court’s calling it a last chance—but the real problem? It’s not going away.
