FALL RIVER, Mass. -- The self-described "master thief" and New England Patriots fan convicted of stealing New York Giants Super Bowl rings in 2008 is back behind bars after a judge determined he had violated the terms of his probation, prosecutors said.
Sean Murphy, 58, was sentenced last week in Fall River Superior Court to 18 months in state prison for, among other things, allegedly posing as a homeless veteran and soliciting donations outside a supermarket for a fake veterans' charity, according to a statement Wednesday from the office of Bristol District Attorney Thomas Quinn III.
