The defendant was on probation at the time of this crime and was also sentenced this morning for Violation of Probation (VOP) in two previous cases.
For the VOP in his 2021 burglary case, his probation was revoked and terminated. He was then sentenced to 15 years in prison for Burglary of a Dwelling and 94.725 months in prison for Grand Theft of a Dwelling.
For the VOP in his 2022 burglary case, his probation was revoked and terminated. He was then sentenced to 94.72 months in prison. The sentences are to run concurrently.
Assistant State Attorney Christopher Stone handled the VOPs in the previous cases.
The crime from 2024, which led to the sentencings today, involved the defendant breaking into a Charlotte County home, by climbing through a bedroom window, while the residents were out. Jewelry, tools, and several firearms were among the items stolen. A wallet was even stolen from a child’s bedroom.
The defendant then tried to sell the stolen items to people who lived near the scene of the crime and they contacted law enforcement. The defendant was identified and the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office then conducted surveillance at a residence he was known to frequent.
The defendant was soon seen riding down the street on a tricycle but jumped off and ran when he saw deputies. He was apprehended and had a taser with him. He also had some of the stolen jewelry on him when he was searched as well as the child’s wallet.
