A Logansport woman was sentenced Friday to 20 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections, with 10 years to be suspended to probation, for a Class B felony charge of burglary. Cass County prosecuting attorney Lisa Swaim says court documents indicate that Amanda Pearson, along with co-defendants Clifton Stone and Jeremiah Kelley, was charged with burglarizing the home of a family in Cass County on April 4, 2012. The same three individuals were charged in Tipton County and Carroll County with burglaries that occurred within days of the Cass County incident.
Pearson also pled guilty to burglary in Carroll County and was sentenced to 8 years with four suspended to probation. Her Cass County sentence will be served in addition to the Carroll County sentence. The combined sentences require 28 years incarceration with 14 suspended and 14 executed.
Stone and Kelley have also pled guilty and been sentenced in both the Tipton and Carroll County cases. Stone pled guilty to the Cass County burglary in January 2013 and was sentenced to 20 years executed in the Indiana Department of Corrections. Kelley pled guilty in the Tipton County case in August 2013 and also received a 20 year executed sentence.
After completing her executed sentence, Pearson has been ordered to make restitution to the victims as a condition of her probation.
Jeremiah Kelley is scheduled to be sentenced in Cass County on August 10, 2015.
