Santiago [...] was sentenced, as part of a plea agreement, to sixteen months in state prison for filing a false deed and forgery. The issue of $225,000 in restitution has been reserved for an upcoming hearing. In May and June 2006, Santiago forged the victim’s name on Quitclaim deeds.

The residential properties were located in the cities of Hesperia and Colton.
