East St Louis officer sentenced 66 DAYS in prison
Assuming the Rolex was valued at more than $500 and less than $10,000 that should have been a Class 3 Felony which, according to this table would merit 2 to 5 years (not 2 months) plus a 15 year enhancement for "using" (i.e. possessing) a firearm during commission of the crime, but i'm sure that being a cop had nothing to do with the leniency applied to this case.......
A former East St. Louis police officer who stole a Rolex watch planted by federal agents as a test has been sentenced to 66 days in prison.
Larry Greenlee, of Belleville, pleaded guilty in May to stealing the watch, which agents planted as part of an integrity test. Greenlee came across the Rolex, encircled with diamonds, in what he thought was a stolen car, which agents had bugged with recording devices.
The sentence was announced Friday by the U.S. Attorney's Office in southern Illinois.
After his prison term, the 40-year old Greenlee will be placed under house arrest for four months, followed by three years of supervised release.
His arrest was part of a covert investigation by federal agents into allegations of corruption within the East St. Louis Police Department.
