OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – One of the two men accused of stealing diapers from a charity’s warehouse has been convicted.
According to court records, Jason Havel will be sentenced July 13 on one count of theft after entering a no contest plea Monday.
Authorities allege Havel and John Forbes stole more than 1,700 cases of diapers.
The diapers were being stored at a Valley Packaging storage facility prior to being donated to the Fox Cities Diaper Bank, an initiative that assists low-income families with their diaper needs.
Officials say both Forbes and Havel had worked at the facility so they had knowledge of the security system.
Investigators believe Forbes and Havel had plans to resell the diapers.
Forbes is scheduled to enter a plea in the case on June 29.
That’s not the end of their legal troubles.
Both men also face charges in Outagamie County for separate incidents in which they allegedly stole two forklifts.
Forbes is scheduled to enter a plea in that case Wednesday, while Havel has a final conference July 11th.
