SV man sentenced for felony theft

Talk about it

A Spring Valley man was placed on a deferred prosecution agreement for 30 months Friday in Pierce County Circuit Court for felony theft.

Peter J. Flanigan, 35, was charged with taking over $16,000 during a four-year span. Terms of the agreement call for Flanigan to pay restitution, which court records say is $8,200. If Flanigan completes the agreement, the charges will be dismissed. If he doesn’t, he will be found guilty without trial and will be sentenced.

According to the criminal complaint, a Maiden Rock man hired Flanigan to install heating and air conditioning for his home. Between September 2003 and April 2004, the man wrote three checks to Flanigan, totaling $16,200.

The man told sheriff’s department investigators Flanigan did the initial installation of the ductwork during that period. The man states the ductwork was almost done, but not quite, in its entirety and that work has been all the work which has been completed.
