A La Jolla real estate agent has pleaded guilty to stealing another person’s credit card and using it at a Neiman Marcus store. Steven Swilley-Francoeur, 49, will be sentenced April 5 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers. Swilley-Francoeur remains free on $25,000 bond. According to court documents, Swilley-Francoeur has agreed to pay full restitution of an amount to be determined. Six other burglary charges involving Neiman Marcus, Target and Ralph’s were dismissed after Swilley-Francoeur pleaded guilty to using another person’s identity and burglary on March 7. The burglary charge alleges that when Swilley-Francoeur entered the Neiman Marcus store, he did so with the intent to commit theft. “I unlawfully used the personal identifying information of another for an unlawful purpose and unlawfully entered a building with the intent to commit a theft inside,” wrote Swilley-Francoeur in a court document. Deputy District Attorney John Cross and defense attorney Euketa Oliver both declined to comment on the case. Court documents say Swilley-Francoeur could face a maximum sentence of three years and eight months in state prison and a $20,000 fine. The Neiman Marcus burglary that Swilley-Francoeur admitted to committing occurred on Dec. 12 and the charges were filed on Jan. 24.
