John Manis Richards, represented by his attorney Christopher Moffatt, entered into a plea deal over alleged crimes he committed in Gilmer County, the theft of merchandise and a truck from Hardman Supply in 2007.
A jury trial to hear the case had been canceled, and a hearing was held yesterday before appointed judge Larry Starcher.
The plea arrangement was made with Gilmer Prosecutor Jerry Hough.
Richards pled guilty to a count of his indictment for grand larceny.
He also pled guilty to another count in the indictment for conspiracy to commit grand larceny.
A count charging him with breaking and entering was dismissed, by a motion from prosecutor Hough.
A pre-sentence investigation has been ordered, with sentencing to be scheduled.
Richards remains on bond.
