MAN SENTENCED FOR COLE CLOTHING MUSEUM BURGLARY

A Logansport man has been sentenced for a burglary of a local museum that occurred in 2012. According to the Cass County Prosecutor, state court documents filed on August 11 this year indicate that 36 year old Travis Cunningham entered a guilty plea to burglary, a Class C felony. Pursuant to the plea agreement, he was sentenced to 8 years in the Department of Corrections, with five years executed now and three years suspended to probation. On October 26, Cunningham smashed a window and entered the Cole Clothing Museum, leaving behind blood evidence. The defendant was later identified when the DNA profile developed from the crime scene was matched with his DNA. Cunningham was also ordered to pay restitution to the Cole Clothing Museum for damage done to the building and antique clothing during the period of probation.
