A Jamestown, N.Y., man has been sentenced to jail time after pleading guilty to a pair of theft-related charges more than five years after the original incident.

Steven W. Mothershed, 49, was charged in January 2022 with first-degree felony burglary – overnight accommodation, no person present, misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking – movable property, criminal mischief – damaging property and third-degree felony criminal trespass – entering a structure.

The incident date is listed in online court documents is Oct. 16, 2020. Mothershed was arraigned in January 2022 by Magisterial District Judge Laura Bauer, who set bail that was then posted, allowing Mothershed to go free. After a defense-requested continuance was granted in June 2022, Mothershed failed to appear in court in August 2022 for a calendar call and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

Nothing happened in the case until August 2025, when Mothershed was found and jailed without bail. He pleaded guilty in the Court of Common Pleas before Judge Gregory Hammond on Aug. 19 to misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking – movable property and third-degree felony criminal trespass – entering a structure and criminal mischief, entering a structure. The first-degree felony charge of burglary – overnight accommodation, no person present was not prosecuted.

Mothershed was recently sentenced to 9 to 18 months of confinement to satisfy the criminal trespass charge and 9 to 18 months of confinement to satisfy the theft by unlawful taking charge, with no further punishment for the criminal mischief charge. Mothershed will also pay $1,611.21 in restitution.
