LOS ANGELES, (AP) --


A Swedish businessman who authorities say crashed a stolen Ferrari sports car worth $1.5 million on Pacific Coast Highway turned down a plea deal Monday that would have had him spend two years and four months in prison.


"I cannot agree that I stole the car because I didn't," said Bo Stefan Eriksson, 44, speaking through a Swedish interpreter in Los Angeles Superior Court.


Details of the offered plea deal were not immediately released.


Eriksson is charged with three counts of embezzlement, three counts of grand theft and illegal gun possession, all felonies. He also faces two misdemeanor counts of drunken driving. If convicted on all charges, he could face up to 11 years in prison.


His rejection of the deal came as jury selection began in the case.


Prosecutors allege that Eriksson illegally imported two rare Ferrari Enzo sports cars and a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren to the United States from Great Britain. One of the Enzos was destroyed Feb. 21 when Eriksson hit a utility pole in Malibu at 162 mph. Eriksson initially identified the driver as a German man named Dietrich, who authorities couldn't find. He also claimed he was a deputy commissioner with the "anti-terrorism division" of a small transit agency in the suburban San Gabriel Valley, authorities said.


Eriksson is a former executive with Gizmondo Europe Ltd., a computer game company that went bankrupt last year. He spent five years in a Swedish prison in the 1990s for assault, extortion and other crimes.

"The officials also said the defendant defaulted on the car loans less than six months after obtaining the vehicles and they had made several unsuccessful attempts to contact Eriksson in an effort to collect payment or retrieve the cars, Conner said.


A bank agent told the detective he reported one of the cars — a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren — stolen in February to London police, Conner said. The bank official said he learned through the media four days later that it had been impounded by Beverly Hills police.


As for the firearms charge, Eriksson told the detective the .357-caliber handgun belonged to Orange County sheriff's reserve Deputy Roger Davis, according to testimony.


"He said that sometimes he (Eriksson) carried it. He said that he had it for protection," the detective said.


Prosecutors charged Eriksson with a weapons violation because he served 5 1/2 years in Swedish prison for assaults, threats and extortion charges and was not allowed to possess a firearm."

The Short story:

"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Swedish former video game executive who made headlines by destroying a $1 million Ferrari in a spectacular crash was sentenced on Tuesday to 3 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to embezzlement and drunken driving charges, prosecutors said.

Under terms of a surprise plea agreement entered days after a jury deadlocked on the charges against him, Bo Stefan Eriksson, 44, also had his multimillion-dollar California mansion seized and was ordered deported from the United States after serving his sentence.

Eriksson's trial for car theft and embezzlement ended in a mistrial last week after the jury split 10-2 for conviction."
