A man named Anthony Edward Janow has been sentenced to six months in jail for stealing parts of actor Paul Walker's wrecked Porshe Carrera GT in which he died last year.
The 26-year-old man was also sentenced to three years of formal probation for stealing a roof panel from the wreckage while sheriff's officials were investigating the fiery car crash which killed the 'Fast and Furious' actor, reported Ace Showbiz.
Anthony's co-defendant Jameson Brooks Witty was already sentenced to six months in jail back in August. The two suspects previously pleaded no contest to misdemeanour charges on destroying evidence and resisting or delaying a police officer.
Anthony and Jameson stole parts of Walker's Porshe when a tow truck, which carried the wreckage away from the crash site, stopped at traffic lights in Santa Clarita, California. The tow truck driver then reported the thievery to sheriff.
Walker and his friend Roger Rodas died on November 30, 2013 after their car crashed into a light standard and burst into flames in Santa Clarita.
