On June 26, 2025, Jason Castle, 48, of Sierra County, was sentenced for felony theft from an elder by a caregiver and a misdemeanor conviction of identity theft. The case involved the unlawful taking of funds from an elderly Sierra City woman under his care, between January 2023 and October 25, 2023.
Castle
was sentenced to the mid-term of three years in state prison, to be
served as two years in custody and one year on mandatory supervision
under California’s realignment statutes. He was remanded into custody
immediately following sentencing.
As
part of the sentence, Castle was ordered to pay $4,340.98 in
restitution to the victim’s family. The Sierra County District
Attorney’s Office emphasized the serious breach of trust in this case,
as Castle was acting in a caregiver role at the time of the offenses.
This
conviction serves as a reminder that Sierra County law enforcement and
prosecutors will aggressively pursue those who exploit vulnerable
members of our community.
