        "text": "Robert H. Dudley, Justice.\nAppellant was convicted of.the Class C felony of theft of property. The applicable statute, Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 5-36-103 (1987), provides that theft of property is a Class C felony if one takes the property of another person and the value of the property is more than two hundred dollars, but less than two thousand five hundred dollars. Appellant does not deny that he took a total of $300.00 from the victim\u2019s purse. However, he argues that only $200.00 of the money was the property of the victim, as the other $100.00 was being held by the victim in her capacity as treasurer of her church. Thus, he argues there is no substantial evidence that he took the \u201cproperty of another person\u201d of a value of \u201cmore than $200.00.\u201d\nThe argument ignores the statutory definitions of \u201cproperty of another person\u201d and \u201camounts involved.\u201d Ark. Code' Ann. \u00a7 5-36-101(7) (1987) provides: \u201cProperty of another person means any property in which any person . . . has a possessory or proprietary interest. . . .\u201d Here, the victim has a proprietary interest in the $200.00 which was her own money, and a possessory interest in the $100.00 which she was holding as treasurer for her church. Under this definition the evidence was sufficient to convict the appellant.\nIn addition, Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 5-36-102(c)(2) (1987) provides: \u201cAmounts involved in theft committed pursuant to one . . .course of conduct. . . may be aggregated in determining the grade of the offense.\u201d When the two sums are so aggregated, the total justifies the Class C felony in the case.\nUnder this definition the evidence was also sufficient to convict the appellant.\nAffirmed.",
