Joseph Huffaker was convicted six months ago for participating in a scheme to steal cannabis and cash from drivers while posing as a federal agent. Sentencing was postponed after Huffaker fired his attorney; a federal judge granted a delay and set a Feb. 4 date unless new counsel provides an acceptable timeline. Counsel Richard Ceballos cited confidential issues for his dismissal. A potential replacement is expected to be available Feb. 4. Judge Maxine Chesney noted the case’s complexity and concern that new counsel needs time to prepare. Prosecutors seek 63 months, three years supervised release, and $23,000 restitution; the defense recommended 12 months home confinement, citing co-defendant Brendan "Jacy" Tatum’s involvement and cooperation.
