Young man sent to prison for stealing from Sherburne business
NORWICH— A young man was sentenced to prison for burglary in Chenango County Court on Dec. 12 by Judge Frank B. Revoir, Jr.
Adam D. Simpkin, 20, Bainbridge, was indicted on the charges of burglary in the third degree, a class D felony; and petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor, on July 16 of this year.
It is alleged on June 7 of this year, Simpkin knowingly and unlawfully entered China King in Sherburne and stole approximately $1,000 in cash and an iPhone 3s.
Simpkin said he broke into China King alone because he was looking for money to buy drugs. He had taken a bus to Sherburne and had been drinking at a local bar before he committed the crime.
“I wasn't in the right state of mind. I made a mistake,” said Simpkin.
Simpkin pleaded guilty to the class D felony of burglary in the third degree on Dec. 12.
The victim from China House was in court during Simpkin's sentencing.
“Judge, he should look at the victim,” said District Attorney Joseph A. McBride. Simpkin turned to look at the victim while McBride was talking.
“She works hard. He can't be ripping everybody off,” said McBride.
McBride also said Simpkin needs to stop doing the “wrong thing” and hanging out with people who do “stupid things,” like drugs. He said if Simpkin does not stop his criminal behavior, McBride will have to remove him from the community.
When asked if he would like to make a statement on his behalf, Simpkin said, “I'd like to apologize to the person I did wrong.” He turned to the victim and said, “I apologize. I made a mistake. I will make it right.”
The victim nodded her head to Simpkin in response, acknowledging what he had said.
Revoir said starting in 2010, Simpkin committed a “whole slew of theft crimes.”
“Drug addiction seems to be the root cause,” added Revoir.
Revoir also said he hopes Simpkin learns from his mistakes and stops his criminal behavior.
“I appreciate the chance I am being given,” said Simpkin to Revoir.
Simpkin was sentenced to one and a half to four and a half years indeterminate in the New York State Department of Corrections.
He is also required to complete the Willard Drug Treatment Program. If he completes the program, he will be released upon his completion. And if he does not complete the program, he can receive the maximum four and a half years in state prison.
McBride explained the court proceedings to the victim, since she said she is “not very good with English.” He told her that she will be paid by Simpkin after he is released from prison.
Simpkin will be required to pay $1,000 in restitution plus a five percent surcharge upon his release.
