Foreclosure Stripping Among Charges Landing Oregon Man 45 Months In Jail; Ukrainian National May Now Face Deportation

In Clackamas County, Oregon, The Oregonian reports:

• The Damascus man who stripped his own foreclosed home of more than $50,000 worth of property was sentenced [...] to 3 years and 9 months of prison, as part of a plea bargain that included the defrauding of an electric company. Grigoriy Bogoslavets, 33, was convicted in a Clackamas County Circuit Courtroom of one count of first degree aggravated theft for taking everything from the air conditioning system to the kitchen cabinets in his former home. He was found guilty of four more counts of first degree aggravated theft for his crime involving $400,000 in electrical supplies.

• "The unfortunate thing about this is that you were kind of living the American Dream," [Judge Robert] Herndon said as he addressed Bogoslavets [an electrical supply business owner and non-U.S. citizen from Ukraine], who may now face deportation.
