ANDERSON JURY RENDERS GUILTY VERDICT IN STATE VS. LARRY EVANS. JUDGE SENTENCES HIM TO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED

An Anderson County jury found Larry D. Evans guilty of Possession of a Stolen Vehicle today in Anderson General Sessions Court. The Honorable J. C. “Buddy” Nicholson sentenced Evans to 10 years, the maximum penalty allowed for this crime. Evans was sentenced under an “enhancement” statute due to his prior extensive criminal record dating back to 1983.

On May 28, 2005, Evans was identified as operating a 1987 Dodge Dakota truck which had been stolen on May 25, 2005 from the Advance Auto parking lot on South Main Street in Anderson. He was arrested in Abbeville County on June 13, 2005 while driving the truck. 

“We were very pleased with the jury’s verdict and with the maximum sentence handed down by Judge Nicholson. The Anderson County Sheriff’s office worked tremendously hard on this case and we were able to present ample evidence for the jury to render its guilty verdict.” Solicitor Chrissy Adams.
