DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna sentenced a defendant to 28 months of incarceration followed by three years of probation.
Samuel Bucey pleaded guilty to attempting to commit second-degree burglary. He was originally charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary and possession on Feb. 6, 2017. According to court documents, Bucey broke into an apartment building and stole various items from multiple residences.
Bucey was also charged with bail violation for failing to appear in court on March 28, 2019.
As part of a plea agreement with the prosecution, the bail violation case and the remaining first-degree burglary and possession charges were dismissed.
“He robbed me of my sense of security,” the victim wrote in an impact statement that the prosecution read during the Aug. 13 hearing. “That is a loss that has no compensation.”
