Three men accused of stealing a golf cart from Arkansas State University were sentenced to suspended terms after pleading guilty.
According to court documents, Caleb Deshaun Quinn, Taris Durell Randolph, and Robert Deshun Selvy admitted to charges of theft of property valued under $1,000 and first-degree criminal mischief, both Class A misdemeanors.
Judge Randy Philours sentenced Quinn and Randolph on Nov. 5 to 12 months of suspended imposition of sentence for each charge. They were also ordered to pay court costs, fines, and fees in monthly installments of $75, as well as $1,954.28 in restitution. Judge Scott Ellington imposed the same sentence on Selvy.
The case stems from a Sept. 14 incident when Arkansas State University Police were alerted to a missing golf cart leased to the A-State Alumni Association for the football season. Surveillance footage reportedly showed three people approaching the cart on Red Wolf Boulevard and driving it to Embassy Suites before leaving campus in a black Chevrolet Malibu.
Further investigation revealed the cart had traveled to a Maverick gas station on East Johnson Avenue. Officers recovered the stolen vehicle the next morning near State Street.
Documents identify Quinn as the primary defendant, with Randolph and Selvy listed as co-defendants.
The three men will also face additional court dates, including jury trials for Quinn and Randolph scheduled for Dec. 7. Motion and plea hearings are set for Nov. 13.
