A former housekeeper of La Jolla cookbook author and philanthropist Jeanne Jones and the housekeeper’s boyfriend are awaiting sentencing for thefts of jewelry from Jones’ home. The sentencing of Carla Rosela Carrillo, 44, has been delayed several times because the amount of restitution is being disputed, said Carillo’s attorney, Frank Birchak. Birchak said the restitution figure is between $24,000 and $215,000, and he wanted to narrow the figure down before she is sentenced. Carillo will be sentenced Jan. 30. She pleaded guilty Sept. 23 to residential burglary of Jones’ La Jolla residence that involved her taking jewelry and giving it to Lamont Long, 29, who sold some of it at jewelry stores. Long will be sentenced March 2 after pleading guilty to receiving stolen property. Carrillo also pleaded guilty to commercial burglary involving stealing clothing from a Gap store in La Jolla while she was out on bail for stealing jewelry from Jones, said Deputy District Attorney C.J. Mody. Carrillo faces a maximum term of four years and eight months in state prison. Long is expected to get probation because he has no prior record, said Mody. Court records say Carrillo has been convicted of burglary in 1999 and attempted theft in 1995. Carrillo is being held on $60,000 bail. Long remains free on bond. His attorney is asking the charges against Long be reduced to a misdemeanor. In an unrelated case, four men were sentenced Sept. 16 to long terms in prison, also for stealing jewelry from Jones’ house during a home invasion robbery and assault on Nov. 5, 2010.
