Jamestown man sentenced in Youngsville burglary
A Jamestown man charged as part of burglaries in Youngsville could spend up to the next two years in the Warren County Jail.
Aaron Nazario, 40, of Jamestown had been charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary and criminal trespassing – entering a structure, all felony charges, as well as theft by unlawful taking and loitering and prowling at night time, both misdemeanor charges. He pleaded guilty in February to a felony charge of criminal conspiracy (criminal trespass) and theft by unlawful taking while the other charges were not prosecuted, though they were amended.
Prior to his sentencing by Judge Maureen Skerda on Friday in the Court of Common Pleas, Nazario’s attorney filed several motions, including one to withdraw Nazario’s guilty plea, one to withdraw his appearance and one to modify bail. Nazario has been in the Warren County Jail on $250,000 bail since his November 15 arrest. On Friday, Skerda sentenced Nazario to up to 2 years, 1 day in the Warren County Jail with credit for 134 days already served, a $500 fine, 45 hours of community service and eligibility for parole to satisfy his guilty plea of theft by unlawful taking. According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Warren County Court by the Youngsville Police Department, Nazario allegedly stole an ebike from a garage in Youngsville valued at $1,200. The garage had been left open overnight, according to the affidavit.
A neighborhood resident was able to provide Ring doorbell camera footage showing a man and woman walking west on East Main Street, Youngsville, around 4:27 a.m. Oct. 20. The man shined a flashlight toward the garage and noticed it was open. Additional camera footage from the Country Fair store in Youngsville showed a Subaru Forester with New York registration that matched the pictures and video from the site of the burglary while the two people at Country Fair matched those seen in the Ring camera footage.
The arresting officer said Nazario met up with a woman at the Country Fair, with cameras allegedly showing Nazario getting a flashlight out of the Subaru and testing it. That flashlight, the officer said, was later seen in video used by Nazario to see into the open garage.
“Nazario is the only person that was observed walking up the driveway to the garage during this time,” the affidavit states. “Video shows Nazario riding the bike down the driveway and then him going east on East Main Street. The Subaru then follows.”
On a separate docket, Nazario was sentenced to a $1,000 fine, a 12-month driver’s license suspension, six months restrictive intermediate punishment to include 72 hours in the Warren County Jail and 30 days house arrest, attendance in an alcohol highway safety course and Victim’s Impact Panel, drug and alcohol treatment to satisfy a guilty plea to a charge of DUI: controlled substances, Schedule 2-3, first offense as well as vehicle and traffic fines.
