  2. Title 21

A. Every person who buys or receives, in any manner, upon any

consideration, personal property of a value of One Thousand Dollars

($1,000.00) or more that has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by

false pretense or robbery, knowing or having reasonable cause to

believe the same to have been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false

pretense, or robbery, or who conceals, withholds, or aids in

concealing or withholding such property from the owner shall, upon

conviction, be guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment in the

custody of the Department of Corrections not to exceed five (5)

years, or in the county jail not to exceed one (1) year, or by a

fine not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), or by both such

fine and imprisonment. If the personal property that has been

stolen, embezzled, obtained by false pretense or robbery has a value

of less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), the person shall,

upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by

imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one (1) year.

B. Every person who, without making reasonable inquiry, buys,

receives, conceals, withholds, or aids in concealing or withholding

any property which has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false

pretense or robbery, or otherwise feloniously obtained, under such

circumstances as should cause such person to make reasonable inquiry

to ascertain that the person from whom such property was bought or

received had the legal right to sell or deliver it shall be presumed

to have bought or received such property knowing it to have been so

stolen or wrongfully obtained. This presumption may, however, be

rebutted by proof.
