On April 2, 2014, Sampson was again furthering his criminal career by entering a guilty plea in another deal with Charles County States Attorney Anthony Covington when he was sent to jail for theft.

A plea deal cooked up by Charles County States Attorney Anthony Covington on July 18, 2012, provided for a sentence of ninety days in jail with all of the jail time suspended when Sampson entered a guilty plea to theft. A judgement in favor of Golden Renaissance was awarded for restitution in the crime.  Charles County Sheriff’s Officer Jennifer S. McKensie was the arresting officer. The case was presided over by Judge Robert Nalley. On Nov. 7, 2014, Sampson had violated his probation and was back in court.
