42-year-old Eddie Crawford of Craig has been sentenced to four years in a community corrections facility. The Moffat County District Attorney’s office said it was a Class 4 Felony Burglary case which involved a vacant home in Craig that Crawford broke into. He discovered a collection of rare license plates in the garage, including license plates from every year of issue in the history of Colorado, and started selling them online. The DA’s office valued the license plates conservatively at $25,000. There were also charges of violation of probation and possession of a controlled substance.

Junior Henry Seremet says the boys are also learning the importance of the project. They’ll all travel to Uganda during Blues Break in February.
