by Alexandria Randolph
A Llano man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on burglary charges Wednesday, March 11 in the 424th Judicial District Court.
A Llano County jury found Johnathan Lee Fehr, 28, guilty of burglary of a habitation and sentenced Fehr to 15 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The jury also imposed a $7,500 fine on Fehr for a burglary that took place Oct. 7, 2013. Judge Evan Stubbs presided over the trial, which concluded late Wednesday.
According to a release from the District Attorney’s Office, evidence at trial showed that a Llano County residence had been burglarized while the owner was at work. Upon discovery of the crime, the victim notified the Llano County Sheriff’s Department, and the subsequent investigation led to Fehr’s arrest.
“Fehr was developed as a suspect after a check stolen from the victim’s home was cashed by Fehr’s girlfriend at a local bank,” the release stated.
