BRENHAM MAN SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR BURGLARIES
A 19 year old Brenham man has been sentenced to 8 years in prison for burglarizing a building in the 21st Judicial District Court in Washington County this week.
(Washington Co. Jail)
19 year old Adam Glenn Scott Rodgers of Brenham pleaded guilty to a number of burglary of a building offenses that occurred between April 14th and 16th of this year. Rodgers was sentenced to serve 8 years in prison and pay court costs and $3,167 in restitution. He also had his probation revoked from earlier convictions from offenses in October and November of 2014 for theft between $20,000 and $100,000, burglary of a building, and forgery. Rodgers received 8 year and 2 year sentences in those cases, and must make restitution totaling over $62,000 and pay court costs.
In other 21st District Court action, 41 year old Christian Spinks of Waller pleaded guilty to felony possession of a controlled substance from a December 2014 case. Spinks was sentenced to seven months in prison, ordered to pay court costs and a $180 lab fee. 53 year old Michele Denise Perkins of Houston pleaded guilty to theft of between $1500 and $20,000 from an August 2011 incident. Perkins’ two year prison sentence was probated, but she must pay court costs, $1653 in restitution, a $75 hot check fee, $50 crime stoppers fee, perform 150 hours of community service, and undergo drug/alcohol evaluation and treatment.
Baffled. 2014 conviction and either out of jail already or hadn’t even been sent yet. Just system is messed up. No wonder the crime is out of hand. Not the law enforcement’s fault.
It says the case, the arrest, was from Dec. 2014, not the conviction. He was convicted Thursday, and sentenced to prison.
And most likely took that long to get the drug labs back from the DPS labs that are backlogged and understaffed by the State Legislature. Sometimes it takes prosecutors a year or more to get results.
All criminals THINK TWICE before committing your crime in Washington County, Texas.
