    Lowville, NY- A 17-year-old Harrisville youth appeared in Lewis County Court
    this morning, with the Honorable Daniel R. King presiding, accepting a plea
    deal for his admitted involvement in a burglary and vandalism spree in
    Harrisville this summer.

    The male youth, whose identity is withheld from the record due to his eligibility
    for youthful offender status, entered guilty pleas to the following 6 felony
    counts:

  • 1 count of second-degree Attempted Burglary, a class D felony
  • 1 count of fourth-degree Grand Larceny, a class E felony
  • 2 counts of third-degree Burglary, class D felonies
  • 2 counts of third-degree Criminal Mischief, class E felonies

    He admitted to:

  • Unlawfully entering a residence on Church Street in Harrisville, on June
    23rd, attempting to commit a crime;
  • Unlawfully entering a building on Maple Street in Harrisville, between
    June 24th and 25th, to commit a crime;
  • Unlawfully entering a residence on Maple Street in Harrisville, on June
    23rd, to commit a crime;
  • Damaging a TV, trail-cam, helmet and golf driver that did not belong to him
    at the Maple Street property;
  • Entering the St. Francis Solanus Church on Maple Street in Harrisville
    between June 24th and 25th and causing damage to the alter, statues,
    cabinets and doors;
  • Stealing a 2003 Dodge Neon on June 27 in Harrisville.

    The youth was one of three arrested back in August, after an investigation into
    a string of burglaries and vandalism in Harrisville that occurred in June. The
    other two still have proceedings continuing in court.

    As part of the plea agreement, the youth is expected to be placed on interim
    conditions of probation for a year when he returns to court on January 25th. If
    successful after one year, he will then serve an additional four years of
    probation and perform 100 hours of community service. If unsuccessful, he will
    be sentenced to serve 1 1/3 years in State prison.
    He will also be required to pay between $6,000 and $6,500 in restitution, a
    portion of which could be joint and several with the other two defendants
    pending the outcome of their cases.
