BLING RING: Rachel Lee Sentenced to Prison in Real Housewife caper

Audrina Patridge - attending Los Angeles Fashi...Image via WikipediaFirst of all, I am not a huge fan of the "Real Housewives" series.  I do enjoy the gals from Beverly Hills, can't even take them all that serious, BUT it is good "mindless television" for the middle of the night when nothing else is on...

"New HOUSEWIFE crime ALERT" today... 

From the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

LOS ANGELES – One of the alleged ringleaders of the so-called Bling Ring was sentenced today to four years in state prison for burglarizing the home of “The Hills’’ star Audrina Patridge two years ago.
Rachel Lee, 21, was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler, who also dismissed one felony count of conspiracy to commit burglary and two counts of receiving stolen property, said Deputy District Attorney Chris Baker.
Lee pleaded no contest last month to one count of first-degree residential burglary. She was charged with taking more than $25,000 in jewelry, designer luggage, clothes, shoes, boots and watches from Patridge’s home on Feb. 23, 2009. Baker said restitution will be determined at a later date.
The remaining four defendants -- Nicholas Prugo, 20; Diana Tamayo, 21; Courtney Leigh Ames, 20; and Roy Lopez, Jr., 29 – return to court on Nov. 18 for motions and pretrial. All four have pleaded not guilty to charges contained in an indictment alleging that between September 2008 and August 2009, the group netted more than $3 million in jewelry, designer clothes and accessories from the homes of Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Brian Austin-Green and Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Patridge.
