(KAIR)--An Atchison man is going to prison, sentenced in Atchison County District Court Monday to nearly 6-years of incarceration in connection with the burglary of an occupied residence.

According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, Darius Fleming was sentenced to 5-years-11-months on the charge of aggravated residential burglary, the charge Fleming plead guilty to in early June.

According to the release, Atchison Police, on April 26, "opened an investigation into a residential burglary case" when the Atchison victim reported that items were missing from inside their residence, which MSC News files show was located in the 500 block of North 5th Street.

Surveillance footage from outside the residence was reviewed by investigators, who found that it showed the 28-year-old Fleming entering the residence that afternoon, then exiting four minutes later with several items in his hand, before fleeing the scene of his crime.

According to the release, one adult and one child were inside the residence at the time Fleming entered to commit the theft.

Charges were filed against Fleming, who was arrested by Atchison Police the day following the aggravated burglary.
