Fresno man sentenced after stealing $1,000 worth of Pokémon cards

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A Fresno man has been sentenced for stealing $1,000 worth of Pokémon cards.

31-year-old Michael Ryan Baker was given four years in prison in a Tulare County courtroom.

Visalia Police responded to a gas station in April of last year for a theft.

Witnesses say Baker lifted his shirt in a threatening manner as if he had a weapon in his waistband while he took the popular trading cards.

He was arrested two days later.

Baker also had a 2016 robbery conviction in Fresno County.
