(KAIR)--An Atchison man is going to prison, sentenced this week in Atchison County District Court in connection with a residential burglary late last year.
According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, Walter Taylor, Tuesday, was sentenced to one-year-nine-months of incarceration, along with probation in two additional cases, with all to run consecutive to each other. Becker explains, in the release, that Taylor "also had a prior case where he was on probation in which the Court revoked that probation and ordered that Taylor serve that underlying sentence."
All totaled, Taylor will serve the prison term, and will then, at its conclusion, "be placed on probation for the two remaining convictions."
Taylor, in September, pled guilty in three cases to the crimes of residential burglary, criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and three counts of felony theft.
According to the release, "the residential burglary case stemmed from an investigation that occurred late last December when it was reported that a home was burglarized in the City of Atchison." The resulting investigation, by Atchison Police, showed that entry had been made into the home through forcing open a basement door, then breaking another door to gain access into the home, where $7,000 worth of property was stolen, and the entire residence ransacked.
The Atchison Police investigation linked Taylor to the burglary, "as well as additional crimes he committed in Atchison." The investigation led to Taylor, who was 45-years-old when arrested early this year, being charged in three separate complaints that charged him with residential burglary, criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and three counts of felony theft for stealing three separate vehicles.
