California Man Gets 35-Year Prison Sentence for Elder Abuse

Former Sand City resident Timothy Ralph Carrillo, received a 35-year state prison sentence after a Monterey County jury convicted him in August of 24 counts of elder abuse, residential burglary, grand theft and contracting without a license.

During the years of 2006 and 2008, The Monterey County District Attorney's Office said 49 year old Carrillo solicited home improvement projects from residents of Carmel, Pebble Beach, Seaside and Watsonville, many of whom were elderly. He entered into contracts for home repair and remodels, charging larges sums of money then disappearing with the money without providing any services.

Nine victims, seven of whom were elders, testified during the trial that their losses ranged from $1,260 to $65,000.

Timothy Carrillo has numerous felony convictions, including a prior conviction under California's Three Strikes Law for residential burglary. His prior felony convictions and prior prison terms include commercial burglary, grand theft, driving under the influence, and obtaining money by false pretenses.

Judge Russell D. Scott stated that Timothy Carrillo is a perfect example of the type of offender the Three Strikes Law is designed to target.

Bye bye cowardly scum bag I hope your prison in-mates have the full story, the background on you tucked under their cozy pillows. Now you have to ask yourself: was it worth it loser? Applause to the system that put this dangerous man away for a very long time.
