A 39-year-old Centerville man who pleaded guilty in April to third degree burglary, a class D felony, was sentenced Friday morning in the Appanoose County Courthouse courtroom.

Judge Kirk A. Daily sentenced Jason Leroy Hogg to five years in prison to run concurrent with his August 2008 sentence for third degree theft. The judge imposed and then suspended a $750 fine and a 32 percent surcharge.

According to court documents, Hogg and Joshua Kyle Hatfield, 20, allegedly on July 29, 2007 entered an unoccupied residence at 1515 S. 19th St. in Centerville with the intent to commit a theft. Both men were charged with third degree burglary. The charge against Hatfield was later dismissed.

Three pending criminal counts against Hogg — third degree burglary, third degree theft and third degree burglary of an unoccupied motor vehicle — were dismissed Friday morning.

The judge ordered a no-contact order for Joshua Hatfield, Tim Hatfield, Julie Ellerton, Terry Crow and Tammy Hatfield issued earlier for Hogg to remain in effect for a period of five years or until further order of the court.

In May of 2008, Hogg and Hatfield were named as defendants for allegedly stealing on March 16, 2008 an air conditioning/heat pump unit belonging to J&K; Market. In August 2008, Hogg pleaded guilty to third degree theft, an aggravated misdemeanor, and was ordered by Judge Daily to two years in prison, suspended to two years probation with the Department of Correctional Services and a $625 fine, also suspended. Judge Daily on Friday revoked that probation and imposed the original sentence.

Hatfield pleaded guilty to third degree theft and in September 2008 Judge Daily ordered him to serve two years in prison, suspended to two years probation and a $625 fine, also suspended. One month later Hatfield violated terms of his probation and Judge Daily in March 2009 imposed the original sentence.

Hogg's criminal record includes a two year prison sentence suspended for two years probation for an October 2005 forgery conviction. And in January 1999 Hogg pleaded guilty to intent to cause pain or injury.
