WESTMINSTER – An 18-year-old male from Lancaster was among three who pleaded guilty Tuesday to a smash-and-grab burglary at a Seal Beach store last month and were sentenced four to six months in jail.
Michael Kornell Brown, 18, of Lancaster, Dartagnon Darnell Jones, 19, of Los Angeles, and Leleand Lamoine Watson, 18, of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary.
Brown was sentenced to 180 days in jail, and Jones and Watson were sentenced to 120 days behind bars. All three will be on formal probation for three years.
A 17-year-old juvenile was also arrested with the three adults, but the status of his case was not known.
The four broke into the Private Sneakers store at 12410 Seal Beach Blvd. on Oct. 25 by smashing through a glass front door, according to Seal Beach police. The thieves took clothes and a cash register, all worth about $3,000, and fled in a stolen car that officers stopped a short distance away from the break-in, police said.

It’s likely this was just a temporary stunt that was pulled only to make ends meet. Until they get discovered as rappers….

Being a California liberal I think they should abolish any and all jail time. These three young men deserve a second chance.

Come on, Mark … You are not serious? When these perps are out of the slammer, maybe they can do your yardwork, also give them the keys to your ‘pad’ so they can do some house cleaning for you.
When you get back home, you will find yourself robbed blind.
