Man gets life for stealing $900 in cigarettes
A 56-year-old man in Sumter County was sentenced to life under South Carolina's three strikes law after being convicted of degree burglary for breaking into a Sumter store in June 2011 and stealing $900 worth of cigarettes. He defended himself in court after rejecting a plea deal, with prosecutors citing a long criminal history. DNA evidence from a blood smear tied him to the crime, and his record includes multiple burglary charges and an arson count from 1983 to 2013.
