An Illinois man was sentenced on Wednesday to 22 years behind bars for stealing a television remote from an apartment complex\u2019s common area.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old had entered the common area of an apartment building in the 100 block of Cross Street, in Wheaton, on August 2015, and the stole the universal remote.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the attorney\u2019s office said Bramwell entered the apartment complex on Aug.1, 2015 and stole the TV remote from a common area before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n
However, during the theft, Bramwell had left behind a glove that officers used to match Bramwell\u2019s DNA to the state\u2019s convicted felon database.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors found that he was eligible for up to 30 years in jail, because of his criminal history.<\/p>\n
‘Mr. Bramwell’s illegal activity and his history have finally caught up with him,’ state attorney Robert Berlin told the Tribune.<\/p>\n
‘Regardless of what was stolen, Mr. Bramwell repeatedly thumbed his nose at the law. He took what he wanted, time and time again, and expected to avoid the consequences.<\/p>\n
‘That’s not how it works, as Mr. Bramwell has now found out.’<\/p>\n
Bramwell was eligible to face up to 30 years in prison for his crimes and under state law, must serve at least half of his 22-year sentence before being eligible for parole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
