Unfortunate failure of rehabilitation : 22-year-old Weed man sentenced to 11 years in prison
Siskiyou Daily News
A 22-year-old Weed man that committed increasingly disruptive crimes and failed to abide by terms of probation was sentenced Tuesday to 11 years in state prison.
Cavonte Amaru Gary Shumlia was sentenced on 19 separate charges – including a September 2020 pursuit that reached 120 miles per hour – and probation violations from two previous cases, said Siskiyou County District Attorney Kirk Andrus.
“We never want to send a person this young to prison unless they effectively close off all other avenues,” Andrus said of the case, which he called an unfortunate failure of rehabilitation.
