A former Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sergeant, Steven Flamm of Moorpark, who had three felony convictions reduced by judges to misdemeanors, will not serve any more jail time.
Flamm's lawyer, Jean Farley, said Tuesday her client got credit last week for time served — two days — in connection with the theft last year of a Glock firearm that belonged to a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department captain.
Farley said her client has paid restitution and is in a drug residential-rehabilitation program for more than a year, where he also is doing court-ordered community service. She also said Flamm has done 50 times more than the court has asked him to do.
His felony was reduced to that of receiving stolen property to a misdemeanor.
On Friday, at a hearing, Flamm handed over a $436 check to the court as restitution for the theft of the weapon.
In April, a Superior Court judge reduced Flamm's two felony shoplifting convictions to misdemeanors and gave him one day in jail. He had pleaded guilty to using his two young daughters to steal jackets from a department store in Thousand Oaks in 2009.
In June 2010, he was arrested on suspicion of burglary. He had been caught on surveillance video stealing video games worth $900 from Sears. At the time, he was free on $10,000 bail in the earlier case.
