Virginia man gets inflated 137 year prison sentence for stealing tires & rims
‘A jury has sentenced a man who stole tires and rims over a long period of time to 132 years in prison, with an additional 63 months in jail. The man is also facing similar charges in neighboring counties.
Jason Brooks, 38, was found guilty of six counts of grand larceny, six counts of larceny with intent to sell, three counts of destruction of property, and three counts of tampering with an automobile, according to a news release from the Office of the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney.
In 2016, car owners across Loudoun County in Virginia reported their tires stolen. The vehicles, which had often been parked in their driveway overnight, were found sitting on cinder blocks the next morning. In several cases, police noticed blue fibers attached to the blocks, which appeared to be from moving blankets.
A press release from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in 2016 said there had been 11 reports of stolen tires and rims in the county through May. In each case, all four tires had been stolen, mostly from SUVs, pickup trucks and minivans that had customized rims and oversized tires.’
