Description
Appellant James B. Trowbridge was charged by information with grand larceny of four calves in violation of I.C. §§ 18-4601 and 18-4604. He waived a preliminary hearing and pleaded guilty to the charge in district court. At the time of the offense, May 17, 1973, Trowbridge was employed as a range rider by the Star Lake Cattlemen's Association. He stated that he found one of the calves beside its dead mother and subsequently took it and three others to his brother's farm. After considering a presentence investigation report and conducting a hearing, the district court sentenced appellant Trowbridge to five years in the penitentiary. On appeal, Trowbridge contends that imposition of a five-year prison sentence was an abuse of the district court's discretion and that the district court should have employed one of the sentencing alternatives available under I.C. § 19-2601, namely withholding judgment or suspending the sentence, and placing appellant on probation, or retaining statutory 120-day jurisdiction.
