The London, Minn., teen convicted of breaking into three Lyle businesses and stealing cash was sentenced to five years probation in Mower County District Court Thursday, as well as stayed prison sentences for both of his felony charges.

Collin Wayne Orth, 19, was convicted of single counts of theft and third-degree burglary from two criminal case files outlining break-ins at three Lyle businesses Oct. 21.

According to the criminal complaint, Orth turned himself in after learning of the thefts Oct. 24 from his boss at Tucker’s Place, one of the stores burglarized.

Two others — Kountry Kinfolk and Lyle Liquor — also suffered property damage and theft. The complaint said Orth used a landscaping brick to break windows in order to enter the stores.

In total, more than $1,500 in cash was taken from stores’ offices and cash registers. Orth said he believed he was connected after awaking to find his hands bloodied and jeans torn. He also had pockets full of cash, which he returned to Lyle police.

Orth told authorities that he’d been drinking the night before and didn’t remember the incident.

As part of a plea agreement, two counts of fourth-degree criminal damage to property, a misdemanor theft and a felony third-degree burglary charge were dropped.

Orth was sentenced to a 21-month stayed prison sentence for the remaining burglay charge and 17 months stayed prison time for the felony theft. He must also pay $900 in fines and about $1,600 in restitution to affected business owners. Requests for additional restitution may also be filed with the court.

The crimes came on the heels of guilty pleas involving four 2007 criminal case files. Orth was convicted and sentenced in December for single counts of felony adulteration stemming from contaminated brownies he distributed at Lyle High School, and felony harrassment, gross misdemeanor fleeing police in a motor vehicle and gross misdemeanor first-degree criminal damage to property from a series of May incidents.

From those crimes, Orth is serving 10 years probation. He again has a threat of prison time if he violates his terms.

“I know what I did was wrong,” Orth told Mower County District Judge Fred Wellmann Thursday. “Since the last time I saw you, I’ve really changed my life around.”

His other conditions from his latest convictions include 40 hours sentence to serve, no use of alcohol and drugs, no contact with the victims and random chemical testing.
