Keith L. Hutcheson Jr., 27, of Newark, who formerly lived in Paulsboro, N.J., was sentenced to seven years in state prison by Superior Court Judge Christine Allen-Jackson in Gloucester County. He pleaded guilty on April 21 to second-degree theft by deception and third-degree forgery. Hutcheson was required to enter a civil consent judgment to pay $212,000 in restitution to the auto auction company, Copart Inc. The company previously recovered a number of the vehicles, which reduced the amount of restitution owed.

Deputy Attorney General Peter Gallagher prosecuted the case and handled the sentencing for the Division of Criminal Justice Financial & Computer Crimes Bureau.
