UPDATE: Rusty Bryant Sentenced Friday To 10-Years In Prison For Burglary Cases

A Hutchinson man, Rusty Bryant was sentenced this morning to 120-months in prison by District Judge Trish Rose.

The sentence comes after a jury found him guilty of 4-counts of aggravated burglary and 7-counts of auto burglary associated with crimes in the Prairie Dunes- Linksland Drive area in suburban Hutchinson between July 5, and 11 of 2012.

The jury also found him “guilty” of two counts of theft in another case. One of the alleged crimes in this case occurred outside Grace Bible Church at 1221 East 33rd. He was convicted of stealing tools from Wiens and Company Construction and their employees. They had a semi trailer at that location and he allegedly broke a lock and stole various tools from the truck. The other incident involves him breaking into a vehicle at a nearby car lot and stealing a GPS device and that was on July 13, 2012.

Senior Assistant District Attorney Steve Maxwell indicates they will try him again on the two burglary charges after a jury couldn’t reach a verdict.

The state had asked for 236-months for all the convictions and that was rejected by Judge Rose, but again the sentence is 120-months or 10-years in prison.
