A man has been sentenced for selling stolen vehicles for scrap.
Court documents say 67-year-old Charles Crouse of Springfield pleaded guilty in April and was sentenced Monday three years for tampering with motor vehicles and 10 years for money laundering.
The judge suspended the prison sentences pending successful completion of five years’ probation.
Crouse had sold 60 vehicles to a scrap yard between October of 2022 and January of 2023.
Police were only able to find 2 bills of sale for the vehicles.
