A parolee who was caught while driving a Bentley that had been stolen from TV fitness guru Jillian Michaels was sentenced Friday to 17 years in state prison.
Gerjuan Deshon Harmon, 31, was initially convicted last December of one count each of unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, evading an officer and hit-and-run driving and two counts of resisting an executive officer. He was acquitted of grand theft auto.
At his retrial in June, Harmon was convicted of first-degree burglary with a person present and grand theft of personal property — charges on which the first jury had deadlocked.
Michaels’ Hermes purse, which contained the keys to her 2011 Bentley GT, was taken from a kitchen table in her Malibu home on July 3, 2012, as she and her family were watching television in another room.
Michaels — known for the reality TV show “The Biggest Loser” — discovered the theft the next morning and reported the car stolen.
Harmon crashed the luxury sedan during a July 4, 2012, police chase and was captured after a scuffle with officers.
He was sentenced to two years in prison in September 2010 after pleading no contest to first-degree burglary. That case stemmed from another high- speed chase in a Range Rover that ended with Harmon jumping off the Santa Monica Pier.
