The third of three suspects in the burglary and theft of Westphal Jewelers in Hutchinson who entered “guilty” pleas to two of the four charges against him was sentenced to 40-months in prison.
Kenya Breakfield entered pleas to burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary while the state dropped the other two charges of felony theft and felony criminal damage. He was given 34-months for the burglary count and 6-months for the conspiracy count. Judge Trish Rose ordered the sentences to run consecutive to each other after denying a defense motions for a downward departure.
His sentence will also run consecutive to the sentence he’s currently serving time on. That includes convictions for two counts of attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child, felony theft, obstruction and aggravated robbery. Those crimes occurring in Johnson County in 1997 and 1998.
The other two suspects in the case have already been sentenced. 38-year-old Derrick Glover, entered the plea in the case to burglary, felony theft, criminal damage to property and conspiracy to commit burglary. He was sentenced to a total of 4 and a half years in prison.
44-year old Francis Johnson was convicted of all four charges against him and District Judge Joe McCarville sentenced him to 29-months in prison.
The three were convicted of driving a stolen vehicle through the front entry way of Westphal Jewelers back on January 12, 2013 and stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise.
The three will also have to pay thousands in restitution in the case with a hearing on the matter to be scheduled within the next 30-days.
