The third of three men charged in connection with a late 2018 burglary crime spree has been sent to state prison.

Jack E. Ferry, 44, 3 New St., Warren, was sentenced on Friday by President Judge Maureen Skerda.

The charges include four counts of receiving stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, driving while under suspension, two counts of theft by unlawful taking, three counts of loitering and prowling at night time, criminal trespass – enter structure and conspiracy (burglary).

Ferry’s attorney, Rob Kinnear, said his client was not the “brains of the operation.”

He identified the underlying issue as a drug addiction and asked for a local sentence, arguing that Ferry hasn’t had rehab options available to him.

District Attorney Rob Greene noted that one defendant requested restitution while two asked for no contact/no trespass orders against Ferry.

In walking Ferry through the plea back in August, Skerda identified the specific conduct that was the basis for the plea. Those offenses included stolen yard equipment, possession of methamphetamine, three bicycles stolen from a Duncan Blvd. residence in Pleasant Township, a chainsaw stolen from 125 Canton St., a stolen leaf blower, stolen tools and trespass into a garage at 5 Ruhlman St., and a burglary charge at a separate Duncan Blvd. residence.

Ferry took the opportunity on Friday to apologize to the victims as well as the community.

Skerda said the court “considered many things in fashioning the sentence here.”

She noted that Ferry’s juvenile record is more serious but noted he has a criminal record ongoing since 1992.

She said that’s an “indication” of what Ferry has done to “improve” his life and said those efforts are “very few and far between.”

Skerda then handed down the following total sentence: 36 months to 106 months in state prison, eight years of state supervised probation, $5,618.89 in restitution, $7,700 in fines, $2,525 in fees, to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation and comply with any treatment recommended, a no contact/trespass order against two of the victims, 10 days time served, boot camp and recidivism risk reduction incentive eligibility and submission of a DNA sample.

The co-defendants in the case, Matthew Porter and Steven Amon, have already pled and been sentenced.

Porter will spend two years in state prison and was sentenced to seven years probation, over 800 hours of community service and over $15,000 in fines, fees, and restitution.

Amon received a county prison sentence that includes VA inpatient drug treatment, 14 years probation and over $10,000 in fines, fees, and restitution.
