CROWN POINT, Ind. (AP) - A prosecutor says a Gary man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for stealing metal heating coils from an elementary school.
Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter said Monday that 56-year-old Michael Landon Deneal was sentenced after pleading guilty Oct. 5 to burglary.
Carter says Deneal entered Gary's Locke Elementary School by opening a closed window May 23 and took the coils. He also tried to remove metal pipes.
The prosecutor's office didn't know if Deneal had an attorney.
