A homeless man was sentenced to jail and probation for a June 2020 incident in Jefferson.

According to court documents, 49-year-old Curtis Carr pled guilty to a Class D Felony for second degree theft and a serious misdemeanor for fourth degree criminal mischief. As per the plea agreement, both the Greene County Attorney’s Office and the defense attorney jointly recommended Carr to have the five year prison sentence for the felony conviction suspended and placed on probation for two years. They also recommended Carr serve 71 days in the Greene County Jail for the misdemeanor, with credit for time already served. 

The charges stemmed from an investigation with the Jefferson Police Department from June 11, 2020. Carr stole money from the laundromat business in the 300 block of West Reed Street. A second suspect in the case, Elizabeth Ficken was sentenced in September of 2021 to five years of probation. 

Carr was also ordered to pay over $1,000 in fines, surcharges and court costs. The plea agreement also had the County Attorney’s Office dismissing a Class D Felony for third degree burglary.
