A Yolo County Man, Robert Ferguson is facing life in prison for a third strike in part for stealing cheese from Nugget Market.  Prior to that he was convicted for petty theft at a 7/11 for stealing a woman’s wallet.  Sentencing will occur on March 1 to see if indeed he is given his third strike in which he would spend 25 years in prison, essentially a life sentence for a man in his mid 50s.

Mr. Ferguson was previously convicted back in 1982 for three separate counts of residential burglary, at the time he was age 25 years old.  Six years later he pled guilty to a single count of 1st degree burglary.  Finally in 1995, he pled guilty to a single count of petty theft with a prior.
