Burglar Misses Trial Then Receives Ten Year Sentence
Edwin K Jeffers failed to appear for a trial in Aiken County General Sessions Court and was later brought in by deputies. Judge James C Williams Jr sentenced the 39 year old to ten years for second degree burglary. State prosecutor Ben Moore said Jeffers has a long crime record since 1989 including burglary shoplifting forgery resisting arrest and breach of trust. The case stemmed from video evidence at the Eagle Express convenience store and related surveillance photos. The court ordered substance addiction counseling to be included in the sentence with potential ten years to complete the program.
