HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 36-year-old man who entered pleas for multiple counts of stalking and theft in one case and robbery in another was granted community corrections for thee years.

Timothy Drumgould entered “no contest” pleas to two felonies, that being robbery and criminal threat. He also entered pleas to four counts of stalking and two counts of theft. As a part of the plea agreement, the state lowered the stalking counts from felonies to misdemeanors. They also dropped a charge of aggravated burglary.

District Judge Tim Chambers made an underlying sentence in the case of four years in prison, three years in the Kansas Department of Corrections for the felony and one year in the Reno County Correctional Facility for one of the misdemeanors. All the other counts ran concurrent.

One of the cases deals with him stealing a cell phone and some keys. He allegedly had contact with the victim from an earlier case a number of times, violating the conditions of his bond. All of these crimes occurred on various dates in March.

The other case against Drumgould involves the same victim. In that case from Feb. 18, he allegedly forced his way into the victim’s home and stole money, as much as $600, according to statements made in court.

The state as we mentioned didn’t oppose the defense request for community corrections asking the judge to make a border box finding on the robbery count.

District Judge Tim Chambers told the defendant the he was reluctantly granting the corrections saying Drumgould’s past shows a lack on respect for the law. He cited past DUI’s and other misdemeanor offenses. But he granted the corrections because the robbery was over minor things, not what most would consider a traditional robbery.
