Moore was also ordered to pay over $80,000 in restitution to the U.S. Navy.   

Moore pleaded guilty on July 15. According to court documents, on May 4, 2015, Moore stole a trailer full of fitness equipment from the U.S. Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation department on Naval Station Norfolk, and on or about June 7, 2015, Moore stole a freightliner truck that was assigned to the USS Harry S.

He was apprehended by law enforcement in Loganville before he could complete the sale of the Bobcats. One of the Bobcats was returned to its owner, and a month later Moore stole the same Bobcat construction vehicle and attempted to sell it via Craigslist a second time.
