Kocher has been arrested for theft under $300, which carries a sentence of up to a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail, but Blagg said he doubts Kocher will receive the maximum sentence. Kocher previously received two speeding tickets in 2000 and 2002, according to court records.

Blagg said he has spoken with six victims who have claimed undergarments from Kocher’s apartment, and about three to four pieces of undergarments per person were stolen.
