HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An Ohio man was sentenced Monday for his role in an interstate theft ring involving numerous motorcycles.
During a hearing in the U.S. District Court in Huntington, Edward Jay Messer, 46, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was sentenced to two months in a community corrections facility, followed by five months on home confinement and three years of supervised release.
During his plea hearing back in November, Messer admitted he possessed a stolen motor vehicle that had crossed interstate lines.
According to court documents, a Harley Davidson Heritage motorcycle was stolen from a hotel parking lot in Ohio in July 2004.
The stolen motorcycle was disassembled, then reassembled with another frame, transmission and motor case. At his plea hearing, Messer admitted he knew the motorcycle was stolen when it was presented to the Huntington Police Department for inspection. After the reassembled motorcycle was titled, it was transported to a Kentucky motorcycle shop where it was later sold.
In his plea agreement, Messer admitted that he had titled seven stolen and reassembled motorcycles between 2001 and 2004.
Judge Robert C. Chambers also ordered Messer pay $69,453 in restitution to his victims, and ordered the motorcycles seized in connection with Messer’s criminal conduct be returned to the victims.
