A Moorpark man who was convicted for stealing from two Ventura County stores while serving as a Sergeant with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has been sentenced.
44-year-old Steven Flamm had earlier pleaded guilty to felony grand theft but the judge reduced those to misdemeanors. He was sentenced Monday to one day in jail, time already served, and three years formal probation.
Flamm was arrested for stealing $800 worth of leather coats from the Nordstroms in Thousand Oaks, and some video games from the Sears, also in Thousand Oaks.
The DA wanted Flamm to spend at least six months in jail.
Prosecutors said that the thefts were egregious because Flamm was a law enforcement officer at the time, he involved his children in the thefts, and he committed one of the crimes after being arrested for the other.
