Prison time for a Mt. Vernon man in an Effingham County case.

21-year-old William Newman pleaded guilty this week in Effingham County on a burglary count and for violating his probation on the count. Newman had originally been charged in April of 2016 and placed on probation in August of that year, but then violated his probation.

He was sentenced to three years in prison. The prison term will be served concurrent with a sentence from a Jefferson County offense.
