Liverpool man to enter plea on double burglary charges
Joshua Smith aged 31 appeared in Oswego County Court to discuss a plea deal after being charged with two counts of second degree burglary for breaking into two homes in Mexico and Richland on Sept. 22 and stealing cameras a television and cash. He is serving a five year sentence with five years post release supervision and faced potential prison time if found guilty. Judge Metcalf said any plea term would run consecutively with his current sentence. Smith allegedly convinced his then girlfriend Rebecca O Brien to drive him to the two homes where police say he fled when ordered to stop. O Brien received five years probation for her role and is no longer in contact with Smith. Police cited Smith’s cocaine problem and spending the burglary money on drugs for his daughter. His next court date is March 4.
