Rawls scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday


Running back Thomas Rawls will be sentenced Tuesday for one count of attempted larceny in a building after an April 8 theft at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.

The high court misdemeanor charge is punishable by two years in prison or a $1,000 fine. He will be sentenced in Isabella County Trial Court at 3 p.m.

According to Tribal Police, Rawls and a friend used a credit card stolen from the purse of a 62-year-old Holly woman and purchased sub sandwiches and gasoline. The total purchase was $33.75.

 Rawls previously pleaded guilty to the larceny in September.

Rawls signed his own name on the credit card receipt. Police said Rawls denied going through the purse, although he did testify to moving the purse to the floor so his friend could steal it.
