A 23-year-old Clarkston man was sentenced to 183 days in the Oakland County Jail and two years probation on April 1 for his part in the thefts of catalytic converters from several Brandon Township businesses.
Jason Brian Morgan was credited with 73 days served and was also ordered by Sixth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar to pay $23,734.51 in fines and court costs.
According to police reports, Morgan and Dannie Vernon Vore, Jr., of Goodrich, took converters from vehicles parked at area businesses including Solley’s, Master Rack, Randy Wise Ford, Hamilton’s, Papa Bella’s, Ortonville Transmission, and Waste Away.
The thefts began around August and ended after the pair were found stealing a catalytic converter from a park-and-ride lot in Independence Township in January.
Vore was sentenced on March 4 to 210 days in jail, with credit for 41 days served, and was ordered to pay $20,870.43 in restitution.
