. An Oconee County jury found Marcus Daniel Allison guilty today of Burglary 1st Degree and Grand Larceny. The Honorable Benjamin H. Culbertson sentenced Allison to 25 years for the Burglary and 5 years for the Grand Larceny. Sentences are to run concurrently.
On May 2, 2010, Bruce Kelley, Jr. reported to the Oconee County Sheriff’s Department that a burglary had taken place at his home while he was at work. Televisions, a laptop, DVDs, handguns and ammunition were stolen. Based on information obtained through the investigation, a search warrant was issued to search the home of Marcus Allison. Some of the stolen items were recovered at that time.
“We are pleased with the jury’s verdict and want to thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case,” said Solicitor Chrissy Adams. “Twenty-five years is a very appropriate sentence for a violent crime such as this.”
