2A February 19, 2016 Seaside Signal seasidesignal.com Man guilty of burglaries in Seaside, Astoria Attorney calls crimes ‘eight months of bad choices’ By Kyle Spurr EO Media Group A man who burglarized business- es and residences in Astoria and Sea- side was sentenced Thursday, Feb. 11, in Clatsop County Circuit Court. Dustin Allen Forsman, 31, of Seaside, was sentenced to 120 days in jail and four years probation. If his probation is revoked, he would face four years in prison. “Given the number of victims, the number of charges, I think this is a reasonable punishment,” Judge Cin- dee Matyas said. Forsman plead- ed guilty last week to four counts of second-degree burglary, unlaw- ful possession of heroin, second-de- Dustin Allen gree escape and Forsman ¿rst-degree fail- ure to appear. The crimes occurred between December 2014 and last August. In December 2014, Forsman report- edly stole an employee’s laptop from the Shilo Inn in Seaside. Four days later, he hid in the bathroom of Tokyo Teriyaki in Seaside until the restaurant closed and stole money and a key. In February 2015, he stole an iPad from the Chevron gas station in As- toria. Three days later, he broke into the basement of an Astoria apartment and stole a bicycle, staple gun and vacuum cleaner. He was in posses- sion of heroin. Forsman resisted arrest and was charged with escape in July. He failed to appear in court in August. At the time, he left town for Montana and had to be extradited back to Clat- sop County. Defense lawyer Temojai Inhofe described Forsman’s actions as eight months of bad choices. She said he has been drug-free since last fall, and has a job, a girlfriend and place to live. “He has claimed responsibility and wants to take care of everything,” Inhofe said. “He sincerely seems af- fected by this process and, hopefully, he would like to change.” Prosecutor Dawn Buzzard said drugs played a large role in Fors- man’s actions. She hopes his time in jail and on probation will be a wake up call for him. “I”m sure he would be much hap- pier if he could stay clean and stay on this positive course that he started,” Buzzard said. As part of his sentence, Forsman was ordered to have no contact with the victims or businesses. He will be required to pay restitu- tion, once the total amount is calculated.

Brent Douglas Perry, 45, Sea- side, was sen- tenced in Clatsop County Circuit Court Thursday, Brent Douglas Perry Feb. 4, to ¿ve years probation. If the probation is revoked, he will face four years in prison. As part of his sentence, he is required to pay back $20,639.41 that he stole from Putman Pro- Lube between October 2013 and July 2014. He paid back $10,000 at the time of sentencing. Because of his cooperation, payment of half of the restitution and lack of criminal history, the District Attorney’s Of¿ce agreed to the probation sentence. In addition, Perry was ordered to serve 160 hours of community service and have no contact with the victims or business. He was indicted in February 2015 on nine counts of ¿rst-de- gree theft. He pleaded guilty to ¿ve counts Thursday, before be- ing sentenced. While working for Putman Pro-Lube, Perry thought he found a loophole in the system that allowed him to pocket cash sales without a record. Howev- er, the business caught on and reported the theft to the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Of¿ce. Detectives came to the busi- ness undercover and paid in cash. Video recordings showed Perry ringing up the cash sales, delet- ing the in-voices and keeping the money.
