A Butler woman was ordered to pay $12,220 in restitution Thursday, Aug. 6, as part of her sentences for breaking into two Butler businesses twice in November 2024 and stealing cigarettes, cigars and vapes.

Victoria Lyn Conley, 29, of Butler, was sentenced in Butler County Common Pleas Court after pleading guilty to four felony burglary and conspiracy charges filed by Butler police.

She was sentenced under terms of a plea agreement to concurrently serve one to 23-and-a-half months in prison in each case, and was immediately paroled to concurrently serve 36 months of probation in each case.

Her sentence included $7,420 in restitution to Tobacco 4 Less in Pullman Square, which she broke into Nov. 15 and 16, and $4,800 in restitution to Quick Stop Marathon on South Main Street, which she broke into Nov. 5 and 12.

In addition, she was ordered to pay fines totaling $1,600 and complete 40 hours of community service.

Co-defendant Jacob Tanner McCall, 29, of Butler was charged with the same offenses. On Aug. 7 last year, he was accepted into drug treatment court and pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary and one misdemeanor count of theft. He has not completed the diversionary drug treatment court program, which combines treatment, rehabilitation and support services with intensive court supervision.

According to affidavits, police responded to an alarm at the Quick Stop on Nov. 5 and found a hole smashed through the glass door and found merchandise around the cash register had been disturbed.

The owner sent police security camera footage that shows two people wearing hooded sweatshirts entering through the broken door and walking to the cash register area. One of the burglars, who appeared to be a woman, placed cigarettes and vapes into a backpack.

After receiving a tip that McCall and Conley committed the burglary, police located them on Nov. 22. Conley was wearing the same gray jacket and ring as the woman in the video, and McCall had a bag containing 36 packages of cigars that matched the serial numbers of those stolen from Tobacco 4 Less, according to police.

After obtaining a warrant for McCall’s cellphone, police found a text message thread that begins about two hours after the Nov. 5 burglary at the Quick Stop. In the messages, McCall asks a man if he still smokes cigarettes, according to police.

On Nov. 16, McCall messaged the same man to ask if he knows anyone who wants to buy some vapes, and then told him he has 25 vapes and some cigarettes.

McCall goes on to say, “You heard anything about my stores getting robbed?” according to police.

Police said Conley also sent messages about selling vapes.
