Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:54:26 GMT

PARKER, Colo. — Two men convicted of felony theft for stealing more than $2,000 worth of merchandise from a Parker Kohl’s store argued in court for a lesser charge because the items were on sale and they had coupons, according to the 18th Judicial District.Michael Green, 50, and Byron Bolden, 37, were formally sentenced this month after being convicted of retail theft at the Kohl’s store this year, according to a Tuesday news release from the judicial district.The two men were dubbed “KitchenAid Mixer Crew” because of the high-end KitchenAid appliances — in addition to brand name shoes and clothing — that were stolen in the case.At trial, defense attorneys suggested to a jury that their clients should only face a lesser misdemeanor charge because some of the items they stole were being offered “on sale.”Related ArticlesCourts | Nuggets Journal: NBA in-season tournament is officially a hit.

Ismo Lehkonen, a former player and coach who is now a hockey analyst for Yle, was quoted in the article with comments about Rantanen’s offseason activities. He suggested there might be a link to his sluggish production of late.Rantanen scored Monday night in a 6-5 win against the Calgary Flames, and didn’t hold back on his thoughts about the article.“There was actually one thing where I got a lot of extra energy.
