MILLERSBURG — Already serving prison terms for grand theft and a illegal processing of drug documents, the son of a man killed in November admitted to his role in a summertime residential burglary.
James L. Rowe, 22, formerly of 511 Coshocton Ave., Mount Vernon pleaded guilty Thursday in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to an amended charge of attempted burglary. In exchange for his guilty plea, the state agreed to not only reduce the burglary charge, but dismiss a related charge of theft.
Judge Robert Rinfret adopted a joint sentencing recommendation of three years in prison; although the prison term was suspended in favor of five years of community control sanctions. In doing so, Rinfret noted the victim sought no incarceration, just probation
