(KAIR)--An Atchison man, found guilty following a jury trial this week is Atchison County District Court, is going to prison.

According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, the jury, on Monday, found Anthony Akins-Bomhoff guilty of theft, criminal damage to property, and criminal trespass. Despite his request for probation, the Judge ordered Akins-Bomhoff to serve a total of 22-months, or 1-year-10-months of incarceration for the crimes.

The State, meanwhile, argued for the harshest sentence because Akins-Bomhoff, at the time of his April, 2024 arrest in connection with the theft of an Atchison trailer, had just been released from prison and was on supervised parole for the Shawnee County, Kansas crimes of aggravated battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and criminal threat.

Akins-Bomhoff's sentence stems from the night of April 17, 2024 when a resident, in the 700 block of Atchison's S Street, reported to police the theft of the trailer and provided them a description of the truck seen at the site of the trailer theft. The truck, driven by Akins-Bomhoff and pulling the $3,000 trailer, was stopped minutes later when spotted by Atchison Police, and arrests were made.

Along with Akins-Bomhoff, 26-years-old at the time of his arrest, was a passenger, then 42-year-old Jason Brown, of Topeka. According to Becker, Brown is to serve a sentence of 16-months after entering into a plea agreement.

Akins-Bomhoff, meanwhile, was also sentenced for a second trailer theft, investigated by Atchison Police in August of last year, when he attempted to sell it on Facebook Marketplace. That 16-month sentence for theft will run concurrent to the first trailer theft case.

The release notes that "the State is respectfully appealing the court's ruling."
