KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Leavenworth man who was convicted for stealing a child's lawn mower, whose community raised the money to donate it to him after a previous lawn mower incident resulted in the child losing his leg, has now been sentenced for stealing an ATV.

Harry Tolbert, 59, was sentenced in October 2021 to a year of probation after stealing the lawn mower, along with 60 days in jail and $1,270 in restitution.

When the police went looking for Tolbert at his residence, in association with the lawn mower theft, they found the stolen ATV, according to a release from the Leavenworth County Prosecutor's Office.

For the ATV theft, he has now been sentenced to 10 months with the Department of Corrections.
