Greene man who rejected two plea deals sentenced in court
NORWICH – A Greene man who previously rejected two plea deals offered by the Chenango County District Attorney's Office has been sentenced to two and a half to five years in state prison.
Anthony W. Irwin, 56, entered a plea of guilty to burglary in the third degree, a class D felony, and was sentenced as a predicate felon.
After being sworn in, Irwin admitted to breaking into a local business in the Town of Greene and proceeding to steal a total of $1,700 in cash and register receipts from within.
When asked how he gained access to the business by Judge Frank B. Revoir, Irwin said that he first used the key that he was provided, as an employee, and then broke in a second time through a grate.
After his plea was accepted by the court, the owner of the business spoke during Irwin's sentencing. He said, “Your honor, I want to thank the court, the investigators and the District Attorney's Office. I've been in business for over 30 years, and this is the first time I've ever been robbed. I want to thank his (Irwin) wife for contacting me. Hopefully Anthony finds it in his heart to change his ways.”
Before he was sentenced, Irwin apologized to the owner. “I'd like to apologize to (the owner) and his family,” said Irwin. “He was probably the best person I have ever worked for. I was drinking, and I made a bad mistake. I truly wish it had never happened.”
Along with his prison sentence, Irwin will also be required to pay restitution totaling $2,105. Judge Revoir ordered that Irwin make monthly payments of at least $150, beginning two months after his release from prison.
Irwin signed a written waiver of appeal at the conclusion of proceedings.
