James Padgett's 12-Year Theft Sentence | Reno News

James Padgett’s crime spree at a Safeway—six thefts in six months totaling over $1,800—led to a 12-year sentence, with prosecutors calling him a habitual offender.

Caught during a July traffic stop, his rap sheet reveals 26 misdemeanors, two gross misdemeanors, and six prior felonies. He’ll be eligible for parole after five years—a harsh but justified punishment given his history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
