White was working as an in-home caretaker for an elderly widowed man in Santa Ana. The elder’s health began to deteriorate. During a family visit, his relatives noticed his cherished Marine Corps ring was missing.  The Santa Ana police located the ring at a pawn shop in Long Beach. The ring had been pawned by the defendant, who had worked for the victim a short period of time.  Police recovered the ring and returned it to the victim, who passed away one hour after placing it back on his finger. White pleaded guilty to a felony charge of theft from an elder by a caretaker and was sentenced to two years in state prison.
