Forrest man gets 7 years for burglary

A Livingston County man was sentenced to a seven-year prison term (Wednesday) after he admitted breaking in to a home in Urbana in November. 34-year-old Brent Weeks will also have to pay more than $4,000 in restitution to his victim.

Weeks pleaded guilty to one count of residential burglary. He admitted he broke into a home November 1 stealing pocket watches, coins and other jewelry.

Other charges were dismissed. Court records showed he was on parole for burglary at the time. Because of his prior convictions, Weeks was labeled a Class X felon. He was looking at between six and 30 years in prison.
