Florida Men Accused of Steel Pipe Theft have 128 Prior Arrests

Three men with 128 prior arrests between them face charges of grand theft and trespassing after attempting to take steel pipes from a construction zone, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The men are registered felons.

The men were arrested after they were seen loading the steel pipes onto three trucks with trailers. Although the construction site was fenced off, the men had cut a hole in the fence and backed the trucks onto the construction site.

"No trespassing" signs were present at the site, but the men claimed to have permission to remove the pipes. The property manager has said this is not true. The men were booked into the Osceola County Jail, each with a bail set at $2,000.

A history of past offenses combined with grand theft may carry serious consequences. Grand theft implies the goods stolen are valued at more than $300. Criminal consequences for grand theft may include:

  • Jail time
  • Fines
  • Probation
  • Community service

Even if you are facing a felony theft charge, you may be eligible for certain programs that may lead to dropped charges. At the Umansky Law Firm, our defense attorneys look for solutions resulting in positive outcomes, even if you have a history of past offenses.

If you have been charged with theft in Orlando, Florida or the surrounding areas, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm to schedule a consultation.
