Description
COATS, Judge. OPINION Terry Lee Hicks appeals to this court from the sentences that he received for the crimes of burglary not in a dwelling (former AS 11.20.100) and grand larceny (former AS 11.20.140). Hicks was sentenced to five years on the count of burglary not in a dwelling and 10 years with five years suspended on the count of grand larceny. The sentences are concurrent with each other. Although these convictions are for a first felony and do not include violence, we have decided that the sentences given were not clearly mistaken under the particularly aggravated circumstances of this case. On November 17, 1977, Hicks and Steven Alan Wilson stole a Cushman trackster, a tracked vehicle, from the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company yard in Fairbanks. Wilson cut a hole in the surrounding fence and entered the paint shop while Hicks waited outside. Wilson took he trackster and several tools from the paint shop and drove the trackster through the hole in the fence. Hicks and Wilson then loaded the trackster onto a pickup truck and hid it in the woods. The trackster was recovered when Wilson was apprehended and told police officers where the trackster was located. Hicks and Wilson pled guilty to indictments charging burglary not in a dwelling and grand larceny. In addition, the presentence report indicated that Wilson and Hicks were involved in numerous other thefts involving a substantial amount of property. 1 The author of the presentence report concluded that Hicks had shown a great proclivity for criminal conduct with his almost constant participation in thefts, and that this would virtually earn him the title of a professional criminal.
