Accused burglar pleads guilty
NORWICH – One of the key members of a group responsible for committing a number of burglaries pleaded guilty Monday.
Bret J. Parker, 20, of Norwich, pleaded guilty to one count of third degree burglary and was sentenced to two to six years in state prison. The court also strongly recommended the 20-year-old for Shock, a six-month bootcamp-like prison program.
Parker was arrested following an extensive police investigation into several burglaries that stretched across the county.
Parker was already serving interim probation for a prior charge of third degree burglary last year. In that plea arrangement, Parker was supposed to remain out of trouble for a year and if he had fulfilled the agreement, he would have been eligible to have the prior felony reduced to a misdemeanor.
“Once again, Mr. Parker was given the opportunity to become an honest and productive member of our community and despite his youth, he needs to be removed,” said District Attorney Joseph McBride.
Parker was originally arrested for second degree burglary, three counts of third degree burglary, third degree criminal mischief, attempted burglary, tampering with physical evidence and fourth degree conspiracy, all of them felonies. There were also several misdemeanor charges facing Parker that were also withdrawn.
Parker made an emotional statement to the court at his sentencing, saying, “I’m heading in the wrong direction in life. I need to change. I want to change. I don’t want to be in prison my whole life.”
Parker had paid restitution for his crimes prior to appearing in court.
Three other co-conspirators were also arrested with Parker and await their day in court.
Jerry W. Armondi Jr., 20, Norwich, was charged with all the crimes originally facing Parker. Ryan A. Mckissick, 18, of Norwich, was arrested in connection to the crimes and charged with third degree burglary, attempted burglary and fifth degree conspiracy. Also a 15-year-old male from Norwich was charged with second degree burglary and fifth degree conspiracy.
Police allege the four were responsible for either thieving or burglarizing the following locations: residences in the Town of Columbus, Curtis Lumber in Sherburne, NYSEG, Kelly’s Cans Redemption Center, Norwich High School construction site and Pro-Tel in Norwich as well as the South New Berlin Quickway.
