P. v. Sisco
Between May and August 2012, unknown suspects removed copper wire from a commercial business and threw it over a fence. From a hiding place, defendant Michael Kevin Sisco observed the thefts and retrieved some wire from outside the fence. The business owner discovered the thefts and alerted local recycling firms. Later that day, a recycler advised the owner that defendant had brought in cables similar to the ones taken in the thefts. When defendant returned to the recycler, a Yuba County Sheriff’s deputy questioned him about the copper. He admitted that he had been “peeling from the ones who were peeling from the wrecking yard.â€
Defendant pled no contest to receiving stolen property. Imposition of sentence was suspended and defendant was placed on probation on the conditions, among others, that he obey all laws and report to the probation department. He was ordered to make restitution to the victim in the amount of $180 and pay a $240 restitution fine, a $240 restitution fine suspended unless probation is revoked, a $370 presentence report fee, a $40 court operations fee, a $30 court facilities assessment, and booking and citation fees.
