A Butler man who broke into a South Chestnut Street store was sentenced Thursday to 3 years’ probation.

Paul J. Hilliard, 42, who previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of criminal trespass, also was sentenced to 50 hours of community service and ordered to pay a $100 fine and $100 restitution to the store.

He received credit for six days served in prison.

According to the affidavit, Hilliard in April entered the Nic IT store by breaking a window. Police found him roaming inside in possession of a cell phone from the store.

Hilliard initially was charged with burglary and criminal mischief, but the charges were reduced in a plea agreement.
