An El Dorado County man entered a guilty plea Monday in District Court to one count of theft for stealing more than $11,000 from the former Hard Rock casino after his seasonal employment ended.
Trevone Lee Miller-Alley, 29, was arrested after it was discovered that he used his employment card to collect $11,809.64 in paychecks between Dec. 21, 2022, and April 7, 2023.
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors will recommend he receive a suspended sentence as long as he pays $300 a month in restitution at his Feb. 3 sentencing. If he pays off the entire amount prosecutors won’t oppose his discharge. The underlying charge carries a maximum of five years in prison.
Miller-Alley was released on his own recognizance and ordered to stay out of gaming establishments between Stateline and Kahle Drive.
A man whose vehicle went airborne while fleeing law enforcement received a suspended prison term on Monday.
Tyler John Christy, 32, was arrested Feb. 2 after driving under the combined influence of alcohol and cocaine.
According to court documents, Christy was driving on Highway 395 at speeds up to 120 mph.
He was followed on to Johnson Lane, then turned north on Heybourne Road, where he turned off his lights in an attempt to not be seen.
Once on Stephanie Way, Christy’s vehicle went airborne causing sparks and damage to his vehicle, before accelerating again to approximately 93 mph.
He then came to a stop on the side of the road and fled from the vehicle on foot, attempting to jump over a barbed wire fence before he was detained.
Christy reportedly suffers from a traumatic brain injury and does not remember the incident.
“The driving in this case was incredibly dangerous, and not only that, but it is your third DUI and eluding,” said Douglas County District Judge Thomas Gregory. “You put everyone on the road in danger, including yourself.”
Christy was sentenced to a suspended 24- 60 months and ordered to enter and complete DUI court. He was given credit for 109 days.
