SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Cedarburg man, with a past history of committing burglaries, will spent five years in state prison for his latest illegal entry involving the Collins State Bank in Random Lake.
39 year old William Works was sentenced this week by Judge Timothy Van Akkeren to the state prison time, plus five years extended supervision and six months in the local jail. Works had pleaded no contest to charges of burglary, theft from a financial institution, and possession of THC last month.
According to the criminal complaint, Sheboygan County Sheriff deputies investigated a theft from the bank the night of July 30, when someone broke a window and took over 77-hundred dollars from cash drawers before leaving the scene.
It was a short time later Ozaukee County law enforcement stopped Works during a traffic stop, and found the money in the vehicle along with marijuana.
When interviewed, Works reportedly said he was under stress to provide for him and his fiancé after she lost her job.
Works has been sentenced twice before for burglaries. One was in 2000 in Washington County, and the other was in Ozaukee County in 2006.
