New Freeport man resentenced
A New Freeport man who was sentenced in March 2014 to county intermediate punishment for theft and burglary charges was resentenced Nov. 7 to state prison.
Jon Michael Berryman, 25, of 348 Stockdale Hill Road, was resentenced to 1 to 2 years in state prison with credit for 305 days served, because he had violated the terms of his CIP multiple times, according to court documents.
The charges – two counts of theft, burglary, criminal mischief and defiant trespass – stem from two cases in 2012 in which Berryman pleaded guilty in March 2014. In Oct. 2012, Berryman removed copper wire from a drilling rig parked in a storage yard near Mt. Morris, and a week later he entered a home at Reesman’s Mobile Home park and stole 25 video games.
He was sentenced in 2014 to five years in the county intermediate punishment program, which included 180 days in jail followed by time in a halfway house. He was ordered to pay $1,200 in restitution to the homeowner and $5,000 to the owner of the drilling rig, and that restitution was included in the resentencing order.
