The Dimond Court House in Juneau.

Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Jereme Martuscelli, 46, entered a guilty plea to a charge of burglary in the second-degree and was sentenced to five years in prison and three years probation Tuesday.

Jereme Martuscelli was charged in an April 2, 2019 burglary of a home on Lemon Creek Road.

Juneau Police said the burglary was caught on video surveillance cameras.

He allegedly stole a fan and tools from a garage.

A neighbor noticed suspicious activity and called police.

Court records show three of the five years in prison were suspended.  The court dismissed one count of theft in the fourth-degree.

Superior Court Judge Amy Mead handed down the sentence.  Restitution is yet to be determined.
