WA man sentenced for theft of 93 pounds of women's undergarments
A man who pleaded guilty to stealing 93 pounds of women's undergarments in Pullman has been given a 45-day sentence.
Garth Flaherty, 24, may serve 30 days of his term in community service under the sentence he was given Friday in Whitman County Superior Court.
He pleaded guilty in an agreement with prosecutors after being charged with first-degree theft and burglary in the stealing of 1,613 pairs of panties, bras and other women's underwear from laundry rooms.
Flaherty was last March 24 after police received a report of a man hanging out in an apartment complex laundry room. Police said they found enough underwear to fill five garbage bags in his bedroom.
Police had previously received 12 reports of panty thefts in the northeast part of Pullman, the part of town where Washington State University is located.
