Atdom’s Story | Arizona Justice project

"Atdom Patsalis was released from prison in September 2024 after serving over 10 years. In 2013, Atdom (then 21 years old) was living in Bullhead City, Arizona, and struggling with drug addiction. Over a 10-week period, he stole random items from homes, garages, and vehicles to barter in exchange for a place to stay. When Atdom was arrested, he confessed, and even told police where some of the items were so that they could be returned to their owners.

Atdom was prosecuted in Mohave County, convicted of 25 counts of burglary-related crimes, and sentenced to 292 years in prison. He was ordered to pay $5,400 in restitution for stolen items."
