Century Man Sentenced For Burglary, Copper Theft At Town Building
September 26, 2013
A Century man has been sentenced in connection with a burglary and copper theft at vacant town-owned industrial building in Century.
Jonathan Devon Andrews, 29, was convicted of felony burglary, grand theft and criminal mischief with property damage. He was sentenced to 180 days in jail, with credit for 90 days served, plus five years probation by Judge Jan Shackelford. He was also ordered to pay restitution of $16,221 at $150 per month minimum to the Town of Century and seek gainful employment.
Andrews burglarized the former Van Nevel Helicopters building on Industrial Boulevard in Century in late January. He forcibly removed sections of industrial size copper tubing from eight outdoor air conditioning condensing units, according to an arrest report, and removed a garbage can from the building that contained three paint gun spray heads. The air conditioning units were not opened or damaged.
According to investigators, Andrews was positively identified as the suspect by a fingerprint removed from broken glass where entry was made into the front of the building.

REGARDING:
“90 days in jail?”
180 total and more if he doesn’t pay back what he owes and avoid committing additional crimes for the next few years.
David for full restitution plus interest
plus cost of court plus cost of monitoring
plus cost of catching him plus cost of jailing him
plus whatever else whe can think of
sorry trashy thief
I agree with Terri, replace the judges who don’t see things our way. We’re seeing more and more, people who are paid with tax dollars don’t seem to get it. We vote them in thinking they are going to represent the majority. I think I speak for most–build larger prisons (block walls, no AC, TV’s, etc.; if you’re going to spend time, then “spend time”, it’s not a spa). Common sense punishment.
This guy is only on probation for 5 years. At $150 a month it will only take 9 years to recover the loss. There is no doubt that much more time and money will be spent dealing with the VOP charges when this guy doesnt make the required restitution payments.
Remember these judges names come election time…
90 days in jail? I guess you want him doing this again. 90 days is not enough time to teach him a lesson for his wrong doing.
Six months in jail for burglary and grand theft?
After all the time and money we spent to bring this perp to justice, it seems that justice was away from her desk at the time.
I’m sure this “harsh” sentence will be a real deterrent those considering this line of work. NOT!
