Bay Area auto body shop owner gets jail time for fraudulent business dealings
"A Solano County Superior Court judge on Thursday sentenced a 66-year-old Vacaville man to one year in county jail and granted two year's formal probation after he was convicted last month on four counts of grand theft of personal property. Judge Jeffrey C. Kauffman handed down the sentence during a hearing in Department 1, where he then ordered Keith Scott Williamson to return to court for a bail review hearing at 9 a.m. on Sept. 9."
"Kauffman also ordered that Williamson, silver-haired, clad in a striped jail jumpsuit and shackled, be subject to a waiver of flash incarceration, a period of short-term detention, typically lasting one to 10 days in jail, punishment that can be imposed without a court hearing and the loss of a half-dozen constitutional rights, among them representation by an attorney and the right to remain silent."
"As part of Williamson's probation, court documents indicate that he must complete 80 hours of community service; not buy or own body armor; not buy or possess a firearm or ammunition; attend and successfully complete counseling and therapy; seek and maintain full-time job; not leave California; have no contact with the victims; and obtain a high school diploma or pass the General Educational Development (GED) test to earn a high school equivalency diploma."
Keith Scott Williamson, 66, was sentenced to one year in county jail and granted two years' formal probation after conviction on four counts of grand theft of personal property. Judge Jeffrey C. Kauffman ordered a bail review hearing on Sept. 9 and noted Williamson had 57 credited days in custody. The judge imposed a waiver of flash incarceration and temporarily waived fines and court fees while reserving restitution for a separate hearing. Probation conditions require 80 hours of community service, restrictions on body armor and firearms, completion of counseling, full-time employment, remaining in California, no contact with victims, and earning a high school diploma or GED. Upon release, Williamson is barred from repairing or overseeing work on registered vehicles or street-legal race cars and must return or allow access to former customers' vehicles at his Putah Creek Road shop.
