An Albert Lea man was sentenced last Thursday in Mower County District Court to 90 days in jail and 20 years’ supervised probation after he stole more than $3,000 worth of guns and tried to sell them.

Keven Roger Haroldson, 27, was convicted of receiving stolen property Thursday after he entered a plea agreement in April. He was previously charged with a firearm violation as a convicted felon, but that charge was dropped as part of the agreement.

According to court records, a Lansing Township property owner reported several guns stolen from a pickup truck on his property on Dec. 8, 2012. The victim told police the alarm system he uses to notify him when a car approaches rang at 2:15 a.m., but he didn’t check on his property as the system also rings when deer step on his property.

Court records show the victim reported a Ruger American 30.06 caliber rifle with a Nikon 3×9 scope, a Savage Mako .22 LR caliber rifle with BSA 4×12 scope, Volquartsen .17 HMR caliber rifle with Bushnell Elite 4-12×40 scope, Kahr CW 9 mm pistol with two magazines, a Kimber Eclipse II .45 handgun with a case and a Kimber .22 caliber conversion kit were all missing from his truck, which was parked in an open shed about 200 feet from his house.

Also missing were house keys, an electronic card for the Cedar Valley Conservation Club gate and five boxes of .308 ammo.

Albert Lea police recovered the Savage Mako rifle on April 22, 2013, after they unsuccessfully chased a man who wore the gun near a business in Albert Lea. The man allegedly dropped the rifle when he saw police and ran from the scene.

An Austin man went to police on April 30, 2013, claiming he bought several guns from Harlodson that he believed were stolen. According to court records, the buyer met Haroldson through someone he knew starting in December. Haroldson told the middleman and the buyer he got several guns from his father and was looking to sell a group of them for about $1,700.

The buyer was only interested in a shotgun unrelated to the case, but Haroldson eventually convinced the buyer to also take three of the stolen guns and the Kimber .22 conversion kit for $1,000.

The middleman confirmed he connected Haroldson to the buyer but told police he didn’t know Haroldson’s guns were stolen.

If Haroldson violates his parole, he could spend 21 months in prison.
