A 25-year-old repeat felon will spend two years in the state prison’s intermediate punishment program for breaking into two Cranberry Township homes.

According to court records, a neighbor in the Cranberry Point Lane neighborhood saw Damian K. Yandura kick in the door of one home, leave with a black box, then walk into another house.

The witness called 911, and when Cranberry Township police arrived and unlocked the door, Yandura — who did not live there — walked out of a bathroom, according to court records.

Police found items belonging to both homeowners under a clothes basket outside the bathroom.

Along with jewelry, Yandura had stashed one homeowner’s Glock handgun in the basket, according to court records.

Yandura pleaded guilty to theft, criminal mischief and two counts of trespassing.

He was sentenced Tuesday by Butler County Judge William Shaffer to the terms of a plea arrangement with prosecutors: two years in the state prison’s intermediate punishment program, followed by two years of probation.

Assistant District Attorney Mark Lope, who prosecuted the case, said the program is appropriate for Yandura because “his criminal activity is generated by his addiction issues. The state IP programs is designed to address serious addiction issues.”

Lope said as part of the program, Yandura will spend no less than seven months in the state prison. Then, he will go through a series of step-down housing programs, such as rehabilitation, as he integrates back into the community.

Court records indicate Yandura’s prior convictions include aggravate assault, theft and drug delivery.

In addition to the IP program, Yandura was ordered to pay $500 to the owner of one of the homes, whose front door was destroyed, as well as another $1,055 to the homeowner’s insurance company.

The property from the homes, including the gun, were returned to the owners.

Yandura, who appeared in court by way of a video conference, already is in the state prison in Camp Hill, Pa.

He will not receive any credit for time he already spent incarcerated awaiting resolution of his case.

When given the opportunity to speak during court, he declined. But he did shout out a greeting to his mother, who was seated in the courtroom, after the proceedings had ended.
