Two sentenced in theft of copper from farm irrigation equipment STANTON, Mich. -- A second person who pleaded guilty to stealing copper from irrigation equipment at a west Michigan farm has been sentenced.

Tonya Shirley Dow, 32, of Cedar Springs, was sentenced Thursday to two years' probation and ordered to pay at least $1,000 in restitution. The Daily News of Greenville says she already has served 61 days in the Montcalm County Jail.

"My client realizes that this is an opportunity to redeem herself from all this," Dow's attorney, Thomas Wilson, told Circuit Judge Charles Miel.

Allen L. Harding, 56, of Stanton, pleaded guilty to the same charge earlier this year. He was sentenced to 16 months to five years in prison.

Karl P. Gasper, 48, of Edmore, pleaded not guilty and faces trial June 17.

They were picked up in the middle of the night driving down the road with a pickup load of stripped parts off a center pivot irrigation system. Apparently cops just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Donno know much more. Local news was pretty tight lipped.

Hard to tell without more info; she could"ve been only peripherally involved, or she could"ve made a deal--provide info/evidence to convict the other two in return for leniency--done all the time...
And 16 mos to five years all too often turns out a lot closer to 16 months (or less) than to 5 years...

Yes, idiots, I think we have those here too, our local idiot robbed the bank for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, just a couple of days ago. This necessitated the dispatch of the local state police helicopter both times. It flys over the house to the nearby barracks, lands, then back in the air to the nearby area of the robbery, same idiot and same flight plan, helo doing figure 8's in the surrounding area. I had to put a sign over the front door, "no idiots allowed, will be shot on site !", jist in case the persistent money grabber shows up whils't trying to hide from the aviation patrol or some darned thing, you can always tell when they're looking for someone.
