The former Fletcher Chapel Road man accused of burglarizing four Orleans County homes two summers ago has been sentenced to seven years in state prison.
Ronald G. Taylor, 29, of Medina admitted to entering the homes July 3, 5 and 27 with the intent to steal valuable items. He took jewelry, money, a digital camera, documents — and the homeowners’ piece of mind, Orleans County Judge James Punch has said.
In the first incident, he broke through the front door of an Oak Orchard Road home.
“(I) went in and took property,” he said at the time of his last court appearance in May.
Taylor was arraigned in April on the charges of four counts of second-degree burglary, three counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief and three counts of petit larceny. He was already in custody at the Clinton County Correctional Facility on a number of other pending felony charges. Taylor’s bail was set in the amount of $50,000 cash or bond.
A few weeks after arraignment, Taylor accepted a plea bargain with the district attorney’s office on the agreement his sentence would run concurrently with his Clinton County felony charges.
Punch sentenced him to the maximum time allowed Monday afternoon — seven years in state prison and three years post-release supervision.
While Taylor is not a second felony offender under the sentence, he does have more than one felony on his record, the district attorney’s office said.
