A Philadelphia judge has sentenced a former Citizens Bank Park janitor to jail for stealing a Phillies World Series ring inadvertently left in a bathroom stall. Anthony Mobley, 54, was sentenced Wednesday from anywhere from three to 23 months for holding on to a $10,500 diamond-encrusted World Series ring that was left in one of the lavatories of the ballpark.
Common Pleas Court Judge Adam Beloff gave Mobley a sentence sharply reduced from the 24-36 months requested by the district attorney's office, citing his cooperation with police, as he immediately showed them where he had hidden the ring when they confronted him three days after the ring was reported missing in Aug. 2009. Mobley also waived all prior court hearings before his conviction and sentencing.
Mobley was convicted in 1974 of a gang-related murder and later of armed robbery, the Philadelphia Daily News reported. He was paroled in 2001 and had, according to Beloff, become a "model citizen" before his arrest.
