LUDINGTON — A 33-year-old Hamlin Township man faces serving one and a half to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday, Jan. 2, in 51st Circuit Court to larceny in a building and fourth-offense habitual offender.
Daniel John Horowski, of 3028 Piney Ridge Rd., testified that he stole four Budweiser beers from the Wesco convenience store in Pere Marquette Township, Oct. 5, at 4:25 a.m.
Horowski’s habitual offender status elevated his possible maximum prison term to 15 years, said Judge Susan K. Sniegowski.
In a separate file, Horowski faces serving one year in jail after pleading guilty, Sept. 12, to breaking and entering a building with intent to commit larceny and third-offense habitual offender.
Horowski testified that he broke into a house in Custer Township with the intent of stealing marijuana, but never acquired any.
In that case, Horowski will also be ordered to pay $10,659.50 in restitution.
The restitution will pay for extensive water damage in the basement of the house caused by flooding, Mason County Prosecutor Paul Spaniola said previously. A well tank was tipped over when the house was being ransacked during the search for marijuana.
Horowski has previous convictions of breaking and entering with intent in February of 2012; assaulting/resisting/obstructing police in January of 2003; and breaking and entering with intent in August of 2003.
Sentencing for both cases is set for Feb. 6 at 11 a.m.
