Furniture Theft Conviction

The trial of a San Angelo man accused of stealing lots of furniture ended Thursday. A jury convicted 40-year-old Mark Anthony Serrano and sentenced him to 25 years in prison. Serrano had been accused of stealing more than 100 pieces of furniture from the Trend Furniture store. That was a third-degree felony but, because of prior convictions, was upgraded to second-degree and 25 years is the mandatory minimum punishment, along with a fine of up to 10-thousand dollars.
