Three sentenced for their part in burglary

Three people who committed a crime after they mistakenly pulled into the wrong driveway in Smartt Station last year will each face three years in prison for burglary.

The defendants, Misty Martin, James T. Fleenor and Phillip Haston, were each directed to serve three years for aggravated burglary and theft and must each pay $2,585 restitution to the victim. Their sentences for the burglary are to be served consecutively, or in addition to, any other time they face for other crimes.

During preliminary hearing it was learned the three were driving around the Smartt Station area looking for a friend?s house when they turned down the wrong driveway.

It was when they pulled up to the wrong house, Martin told investigators, that one of her partners in crime asked if the house was deserted. Martin told lawmen the men then entered the house and that she followed moments later.

While inside the home, Martin admitted removing three bottles of wine, saying she had friends who ?liked to drink a lot? and that she gave the wine to them. Meanwhile, her partners in crime removed thousands of dollars worth of property from the house, about a third of which was recovered.

The three will be responsible for paying restitution for the missing property as part of their sentences.
