Logan Lurker pleads guilty, pays restitution
Aaron Foote, who was suspected of stealing electronics and money from off-campus student housing, pleaded guilty Dec. 13 to two felonies of theft associated with the “Logan Lurker” crimes.
Foote was sentenced to spend no less than one year in the Utah State Prison for each felony. Currently, Foote is serving a five-year prison sentence for theft which will run concurrently with his recent sentence.
All other charges were dropped including a misdemeanor and third felony.
He was responsible for paying $10,800 in restitution for stolen property. This amount was paid through a check presented in court. According to court documents, Logan Attorney Tony Baird will be responsible for dividing the money between the theft victims.
Foote was also issued two sentence fines of $1,000, which will be reviewed by the Department of Corrections and Parole Board.
Logan police arrested Foote, an Orem resident, on Feb. 11, 2010 after finding him in his truck with property stolen that day from two apartments. Before these incidents, he was suspected of entering multiple off-campus student housing units, taking loose cash, iPods, gaming consoles and other electronic items.
Former Old Farm resident Keisha Egbert said she has felt more safe knowing that the person responsible for the thefts that occurred near her apartment is no longer a threat. Egbert said she had friends who lived in the apartments Foote stole from and they have had their belongings returned to them. Old Farm employees said there have not been any thefts reported since.
