Before: Reilly, P.J., and MacKenzie and B. K. Zahra*, JJ. PER CURIAM. Defendant pleaded guilty to attempted false pretenses over $100, MCL 750.218; MSA 28.415 and MCL 750.92; MSA 28.287, and failure to return rental property over $100, MCL 750.362a; MSA 28.594(1). He was sentenced to two to five years' imprisonment and ordered to pay restitution of $30,343.09 for the false pretenses conviction and zero to six months' concurrent imprisonment for the failure to return rental property conviction. Defendant appeals as of right. We affirm. In April 1994, defendant and his girlfriend, Nancy Charest, opened a restaurant in Petoskey. They obtained a loan of $26,890.87 for the purchase of restaurant equipment by presenting false information to Old Kent Bank. At the end of the summer, defendant and Charest closed the restaurant, moved the restaurant equipment into a storage facility in Flint, and left town without informing the bank of their whereabouts. A leased ice machine, valued at $1,239.81 and for which the lease payments had not been made, was among the items removed and placed in storage without notice to the lessor. Defendant was located in Florida the following March and was charged with false pretenses over $100 and larceny by conversion over $100. Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pleaded guilty to reduced charges of attempted false pretenses over $100 and failure to return rental property over $100. Defendant has not supplied this * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1
