NORWICH – A Guilford man pleaded guilty in Chenango County Court on Monday after he stole over $5,000 in silver coins from the man who took him into his home and bought him a car.
Thomas M. Carson, 24, of Guilford, was arrested on July 8 for third-degree grand larceny, a class E felony.
In court, Carson admitted that he stole silver coins during the months of February and March, and ultimately he received six months incarceration with five years probation along with a payment requirement for $5,610 plus 5 percent.
Before returning to jail, Carson said due to time served, he'd be spending three days in incarceration before being released.
The victim of the larceny spoke about the violation of trust in court, and said, "I took in Thomas despite many warnings that he was not to be trusted. He is a pathological liar who has threatened his girlfriend, and has threatened to kill me as well."
