It depends on the type of new charges as to whether or not he will be subject to the reoffender act (PRR), although dealing in stolen property is not a listed offense under that statute. That said, he will undoubtedly score prison due to his priors and the fact that dealing in stolen property is punishable by up to 15 years prison. He should talk to an attorney right away. Feel free to contact me as I practice in your zip code.
