(1)A person is guilty of receiving stolen property when he or she receives, retains, or

disposes of movable property of another knowing that it has been stolen, or having

reason to believe that it has been stolen, unless the property is received, retained, or

disposed of with intent to restore it to the owner.

(2)The possession by any person of any recently stolen movable property shall be

prima facie evidence that such person knew such property was stolen.

(3)Receiving stolen property is a Class B misdemeanor unless:

(a)The value of the property is five hundred dollars ($500) or more but less than

one thousand dollars ($1,000), in which case it is a Class A misdemeanor;

(b)The value of the property is one thousand dollars ($1,000) or more but less

than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), in which case it is a Class D felony;

(c)A person has three

(3)or more convictions under paragraph

(a)of this

subsection within the last five

(5)years, in which case it is a Class D felony.

The five

(5)year period shall be measured from the dates on which the

offenses occurred for which the judgments of conviction were entered;

(d)The value of the property is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more, in which

case it is a Class C felony;

(e)The property is a firearm, regardless of the value of the firearm, in which case

it is a Class D felony;

(f)The property is anhydrous ammonia, regardless of the value of the ammonia,

in which case it is a Class D felony unless it is proven that the person violated

this section with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine in violation of

KRS 218A.1432, in which case it is a Class B felony for the first offense and a

Class A felony for each subsequent offense; or

(g)The offense occurs during a declared emergency as defined by KRS 39A.020

arising from a natural or man-made disaster, within the area covered by the

emergency declaration, and within the area impacted by the disaster, in which

case the person shall be charged one

(1)level higher than the level otherwise

specified in this subsection.

(4)If any person commits two

(2)or more separate offenses of receiving stolen

property within ninety

(90)days, the offenses may be combined and treated as a

single offense, and the value of the property in each offense may be aggregated for

the purpose of determining the appropriate charge.
