"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."
"Additionally, Williamson, upon release from custody, is barred from fixing, repairing, modifying, and restoring or overseeing work on a registered vehicle or street-legal race car. Kauffman also ordered that Williamson "return or allow access to any vehicles currently in possession" at the Putah Creek Road shop that belong to former customers."
Judge Jeffrey C. Kauffman sentenced 66-year-old Keith Scott Williamson to one year in county jail and granted two years' formal probation following conviction on four counts of grand theft of personal property. The judge set a bail review hearing for Sept. 9 and credited Williamson with 57 days in custody. The court imposed a waiver of flash incarceration, temporarily waived fines and fees, and reserved restitution for a separate hearing. Probation requires 80 hours of community service, no body armor or firearms, counseling, full-time employment, no leaving California, no victim contact, and completion of a high school diploma or GED. Williamson is barred from repairing or overseeing work on registered vehicles and must return or allow access to customers' vehicles at his Putah Creek Road shop.
