Two men who were accused of stealing parts of Paul Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera following his fatal accident last year have pleaded no contest to grand theft.
According to the Associated Press, 26-year-old Anthony Edward Janow entered a no contest plea to one felony count of grand theft of personal property and two misdemeanor counts - which included one for destroying evidence and another for obstructing a police officer.
Eighteen-year-old Jameson Brooks Witty pleaded no contest to three misdemeanor counts including "grand theft of personal property, destroying evidence and resisting, obstructing and delaying a police officer."
Janow and Brooks were accused of stealing the roof panel from the wrecked car while it was on a tow truck that stopped at a red light. The parts were taken despite being told by a sheriff's deputy that they are not allowed to "take any part of the vehicle," the AP reported.
Both men could spend up to six months in jail for their crimes. Witty's sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 14, while Janow's is set for Oct. 23.
Witty reportedly posted a picture of the stolen roof panel on his Instagram and captioned the picture, "Piece of Paul Walker's car, took it off a tow truck at a stop light... #paulwalker #rip #comeup."
In a second posting, Witty clarified his previous comment, writing, "Paul was a childhood idol to me and many. At the time I was not thinking about the consequences it could have, I never wanted it to be like this, I wasn't going to sell the piece to make a profit. Nobody in this world is perfect, we all make mistakes. Some bigger than others."
Walker and his longtime friend, Roger Rodas, were both killed on Nov. 30 in a Santa Clarita, Calif., car crash, while participating in a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. In December, the "Fast and Furious" star was laid to rest during a private service held in the Hollywood Hills.
