A Des Moines, Iowa, man convicted of invading a Winona apartment last May was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison for burglary and assault with a dangerous weapon.

Kirk Cordell Glann, 23, was given 273 days credit for time served since he was arrested shortly after the break-in. He will be eligible for parole in four years. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped 17 other charges of assault, robbery and kidnapping.

Six years is better than nothing. I hope he learns his lesson, instead of polishing his "craft" like so many do in prison.

Update:
After reviewing our older posts, I noticed we don't have this one.

Here are more details:
According to testimony given Nov. 1, Glann and an accomplice, Jacob Paul Semling, 21, entered an apartment near West King and Cummings streets on May 1, 2007, wielding a pellet gun and a bike chain as weapons. Both testified they intended to steal drugs or money.

Once inside, one of six occupants was hit with the chain and a struggle ensued, according to the criminal complaint. Glann and Semling fled but were apprehended by police about a block away.
