Twenty-eight-year-old Michael John Pantera was sentenced yesterday during an appearance in a Golden courtroom.
Prosecutors say Pantera and his girlfriend, Sophie Rose Shafer of Pine, Colo., drove around the counties in November 2007 and stole the contents from mailboxes, took out cash and gift cards, and tossed the mail on the side of the road.
Investigators said 17 residential burglaries were reported around the same time.
Pantera and Shafer were arrested at a Wheat Ridge motel.
Shafer was sentenced last September to four years in prison.
