By Sara QuamTerry Hoffman pleaded guilty last week to two of 12 counts of possession of stolen property in Minnesota.He had previously pleaded not guilty but changed his plea on two of those counts Thursday, Aug. 24, in Rock County court.Hoffman is already serving part of an eight-year sentence in South Dakota, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of grand theft in April.The two Minnesota counts are for a boat from Marshall and a Chevrolet Silverado from Papik Motors, Luverne. As a part of the plea, Hoffman will have to pay restitution to all of the victims in Minnesota, including the two to which he pleaded guilty.Assistant Rock County Attorney Jeff Haubrich is handling the prosecution. He said, "Sentencing will likely be in September and his time will probably be concurrent with South Dakota."The sentence guidelines in Minnesota are 15 months for the boat and 21 months for the pickup, but Hoffman’s time in South Dakota probably will be considered as time in Minnesota.Restitution in South Dakota totaled $122,000.The total amount for restitution in Minnesota will be handed down at sentencing.Although Hoffman was sentenced to eight years in South Dakota, the judge there said paying restitution early would help him get out earlier.Hoffman operated Foxy’s Restoration out of his shop in Luverne. He restored vehicles and worked on snowmobiles, for example. He also ran the Vintage Snowmobile Club of America and its quarterly magazine.The arrest was prompted by a tip about a Chevy Tahoe of Hoffman’s that was being stored at his brother and sister-in-law’s home in Brandon.The vehicle identification number from the black 2002 Chevy Tahoe was researched, and the Tahoe was found to be stolen. The license plate on the Tahoe was actually from a white 1994 Chevrolet Camaro registered to an insurance company in Woodbury, Minn.After that, personnel from the Rock County Sheriff’s Office, Brandon (S.D.) Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol and National Insurance Crime Bureau became involved in the investigation. Three search warrants in December 2004 uncovered the stolen property, and Hoffman was arrested for reusing or reselling the vehicles or parts of vehicles.
