Soldier Pleads Guilty to Breaking Nevada Grand Larceny Law
Last week in Churchill County District Court, U.S. Army soldier Jeremiah Roth pleaded guilty to breaking Nevada grand larceny law for having stolen upwards of $3,000 from a Taco Bell while he was employed there. The judge sentenced him to one to three years in prison.
Roth previously had cases in Las Vegas as well as Carson City for the crimes of burglary and possession of stolen property, but they were dismissed. He currently owes more than ten thousand dollars in back child support. He’s also facing charges for forgery and theft in Georgia, where he allegedly fled to after stealing the money.
Nevada grand larceny law makes it a crime to intentionally steal another person’s property valued at $250 or more. If the value is less than $250, then it’s only petit larceny, a misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail. If the value is between $250 and $2,500, then it’s a class C felony, carrying one to five years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. If the value is equal to or greater than $2,500, the possible maximum prison term is increased to ten years.
