Ex-Real Estate Agent Cops Plea To Pocketing $1,500 For Renting Vacant Foreclosed Home That Didn't Belong To Him

In Greeley, Colorado, the Greeley Tribune reports:

• A former Greeley real estate agent pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of felony theft in a deal that dropped a second count of theft and a forgery case. Gunnar Weber took the deal, which calls for an open sentencing option of two to six years in prison. Prosecutors said Weber took money from a couple for a home he claimed he owned. The district attorney’s office said Weber accepted and cashed two checks in the amount of $1,527.77 that the couple had given him for rent. Later the couple learned the home was actually in foreclosure and did not belong to Weber.
