Judge Tim Chambers in sentencing an 18-year-old Haven man, wanted to make a point to the young man how serious what he did is.

Not only did he place Jarod Neumayer on probation for the three convictions for burglary, but also ordered the young man to go to each of the victims in the case and apologize for what he had done.

Neumayer was convicted of three counts of burglary in Haven and sentenced to 12-months for the two non-dwelling burglaries and 6-months for an auto burglary. He ran the two 12-month sentences consecutive to each other, and the auto burglary conviction concurrent to the other two for a total of 24-months in prison, but Judge Chambers then granted probation. However, the judge added the addition to the probation, you will apologize to the victims in person.

Nuemayer was convicted of two counts of burglary of a non-dwelling, namely a store, “Haven Foodliner,” at 112 South Kansas in Haven, as well as an auto burglary. The amount taken is in the hundreds of dollars with some conflicting numbers given in court as the amount. His attorney indicated that the numbers cited by the state didn’t match the amount in the pre-sentence report. Judge Chambers ordered the amount cited by the state, but then said if the two sides can’t agree, they would have an evidentiary hearing over the issue.

The crimes occurring in June of this year, and Judge Chambers told the young man that he is not the usual criminal defendant for the fact that he has no prior offenses. But, told him you had a clean record until you turned 18, then committed a string of crimes.

Neumayer made no statements to the court prior to sentencing.
