A former housekeeper of La Jolla cookbook author Jeanne Jones was sentenced Jan. 30 to four years in state prison for stealing jewelry from Jones. Carla Rosela Carrillo, 44, was also ordered to pay more than $16,000 to Jones. Her boyfriend, Lamont Long, 30, will be sentenced March 2 and is expected to share that restitution order. Carrillo was also given eight months consecutively for stealing clothing from a Gap store in La Jolla while she was out on bail for stealing jewelry from Jones. San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide gave Carrillo credit for having already served 480 days in jail. Carrillo pleaded guilty Sept. 23 to residential burglary of Jones’ residence that involved her taking jewelry and giving it to Long, who sold some of it at jewelry stores. Long pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property. Deputy District Attorney C.J. Mody said all of the clothing taken from the Gap store was recovered, so no restitution was ordered in that theft. Carrillo also pleaded guilty to burglary in that case. Court records show Carrillo was convicted of burglary in 1999 and attempted theft in 1995. Long, who is free on bond, has no criminal record and he is expected to get probation, said Mody. 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. Most of the stolen jewelry in that incident was recovered by police. Thomas Walter Clark, 42, got 45 years in prison on Sept. 16 for the robbery in which a housekeeper was sent to the hospital. Aaron Espinoza, 24, and Hector Guerra, 31, each got 26 years and four months, and Miguel Ocegueda, 25, received 14 years and four months in prison.
