WAYNESBURG – A Dilliner man pleaded guilty to criminal trespassing last week before visiting Senior Judge Hiram Carpenter III and was sentenced to1 ½ to 4 years in prison.

Jamie Lee Shriver, 27, was charged along with two other men in connection with the Dec. 22, 2011, burglary of a house on Pollocks Mill Road in Morgan Township, during which $23,275 worth of coins, silver and jewelry were stolen.

Charges of burglary and theft were withdrawn as part of the plea agreement.

Shriver was ordered to serve the sentence concurrent to a state sentence he is now serving for burglary in Fayette County. Shriver was sentenced in July 2013 in Fayette County Court to 3 to 6 years in prison.

As part of the agreement, prosecutors agreed to waive Shriver’s ineligibility for the Recidivism Risk Reduction Incentive program, which if he is accepted into the program could reduce his minimum prison sentence to 13 months and 15 days.

Shriver also was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and jointly with his two co-defendants pay $23,275 in restitution.

One co-defendant, Brian S. Blosser, 23, of Smithfield, pleaded guilty in June 2013 to charges of theft, burglary and criminal trespass and was sentenced to 14 to 36 months in prison, consecutive to a sentence for a burglary conviction in Fayette County.

The other co-defendant, Wayne S. Bair Jr., 45, of Point Marion, was convicted in September 2013 by a jury of conspiracy to commit burglary and was sentenced to 21 to 84 months in prison.
