His purchases totaled to be over a hundred thousand dollars, and he has been booked into the San Luis Obispo county jail, with a bail set to $350 thousand.
The DA’s office says that Hibble will be arraigned on Friday, February 23rd, and faces a significant prison sentence if convicted.
The DA’s office also says the defendant is in a criminal proceeding, and is presumed not guilty until the allegations have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
