EAU CLAIRE â One of two teens accused of taking $12,000 worth of hemp during a burglary at an Eau Claire business will spend one year in jail.
An accomplice told police the teens planned to sell the hemp to âstupid peopleâ who would not know the difference between hemp and marijuana.
Damon W. Triebold, 19, of Amery, was sentenced recently in Eau Claire County Court to a felony count of burglary and an unrelated felony count of taking or driving a vehicle without consent.
Felony counts of theft and bail jumping were dismissed but considered by Judge Emily Long at sentencing.
Long placed Triebold on five years of probation and fined him $1,631. He must also pay $12,592 in restitution. As conditions of probation, Triebold cannot have contact with his co-defendant or Evolutions Hemp.
