Another man who stole a part off of Paul Walker’s crashed Porsche Carrera GT has been sentenced to six months in jail.

Anthony Edward Janow is the second person to get a six-month jail time sentence along with three years of probation after taking a roof panel off the Porsche Carrera GT while sheriff’s officials were still investigating the crash. Janow, 26, joins Jameson Brooks Witty, 19, who pleaded no contest earlier this year to misdemeanor charges that included grand theft, destroying evidence and resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer. Witty was also sentenced to six months in jail along with three years of probation.
