A Carbondale man has been sentenced to five years in prison for burglarizing a storage unit last month.
State's Attorney Mike Carr says Levi J. Diuguid, 27, entered a plea of guilty last week to the charge of burglary, a class 2 felony.
Diuguid was sentenced to five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections followed by a two-year period of supervised release.
According to Carr, on Aug. 15, Carbondale Police responded to a reported burglary to a storage unit at 1000 North Michaels Street. The victim reported that she discovered the lock removed and several items missing from her storage unit that morning.
Diuguid, together with another man, returned to the storage unit while the victim was present. Diuguid and his accomplice fled the scene upon seeing that their earlier burglary of the storage unit had been discovered. Diuguid was later located by officers of the Carbondale Police Department, and he confessed to entering the storage unit and taking the victim's property.
The investigation of Diuguid's case was conducted by the Carbondale Police Department. Assistant State's Attorney Jayson Clark was responsible for the prosecution.
