15-year sentence in Olympia underwear theft case
The Associated Press
OLYMPIA, Wash. - A man who pleaded guilty to charges related to underwear thefts was sentenced Tuesday in Olympia to 15 years in prison.
Fifty-nine-year-old Royce Baxter of Long Beach denied he was a threat but apologized in court, saying he committed terrible transgressions because of his obsession with a co-worker.
The Olympian reports ( http://bit.ly/tXxT6v) Baxter pleaded guilty in September to burglary, stalking and harassment charges.

Baxter is a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife employee who had worked with his victim at the Willapa Wildlife Refuge in the 1990s.
Court papers say the married woman had no idea Baxter was obsessed with her until her house was broken into several times. He may have broken into her home as many as 28 times over a dozen years.

He's a stalker. What kind of sentence do you think he should have gotten?

15 years for 28 B&E with a gun is not that long. What else was he convicted of. I read he was also on trial but found not guilty of attempted murder.

Do you think he ever wore the panties once he stole them? Or perhaps sniffed them?

If you read the story not only 28 counts of burglary but also trying to hire a hitman.
"Toynbee added that Baxter’s tape-recorded conversations at the jail, both with the informant and with an undercover officer posing as a hit man, supported the initial charges.
The recorded conversations “were consistent with somebody who wanted these people to be taken out of the picture.”
