Muncey, 46, was sentenced to serve 165 days of a six-year sentence, while his partner in crime, Candas Lashae Campbell, 28, was placed on probation for six years. They will be required to make $14,423 restitution to the victimized nurseries.Their charges come after sheriff’s deputy John Underwood pulled over their Dodge truck on Manchester Highway last year.“The truck was loaded down with nursery stock,” Underwood said, noting there were 32 trees on the truck. “Neither could explain where they got the trees or provide a bill of sale.”The deputy said he looked closer and noticed one of the tarps in the truck had a label on it saying it belonged to Heather Farms on King Road in Morrison.
