LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - A Lafayette man received a six-year sentence including two years in prison after authorities said he broke into a business' locked office through the ceiling.
Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Pat Harrington said Joseph Rich, 20, pleaded guilty to burglary and attempted theft.
Harrington said Rich was sentenced to two years in prison, two years in community corrections, and two years of probation.
In March, police were called to the Suds Laundromat on Salem Street in Lafayette for a reported burglary. The owner told officers Rich was found in the Laundromat's office and the money box had been moved, but nothing had been taken.
Rich told officers he moved a table in the Laundromat and went through the ceiling to get to the locked office.
