Judge to vandal: Get a real job to repay victims
The Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 11 months AGO
BILLINGS — A judge told a 21-year-old man convicted in a vandalism spree to replace his fast-food job with a “real job” so he can more quickly pay restitution to his victims.
District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Brandon Daniel Turell to 10 years with the state Department of Corrections, with five suspended, and ordered him to pay over $13,000 in restitution.
Prosecutors said Turell and a co-defendant used a stolen BB gun to shoot out the windows of about 100 vehicles over two nights in December 2012.
Baugh asked Turell what he was doing to repay his victims. Turell said he had been working at Burger King, to which Baugh responded: “Why can’t you get a real job?”
Turell said he was making $9.50 an hour.
