  1. “And, 54-year old James Edward Lockett was sentenced to 99-days in jail on a charge of Burglary of a Building.” with sentences like this, it is easy to see why crime like burglaries are increasing instead of decreasing. How about making theft and burglary crimes carry some real punishment and maybe they would become less of a problem.
