Rochester man receives 15-month sentence for break-in
A Rochester man received a 15-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to a number of charges stemming from a break-in at the Rochester Golf Course in July.
Michael J. Eldridge, 31, of Wordell Street pleaded guilty in Wareham District Court to breaking and entering in the night time, malicious destruction of property over $250, malicious destruction of property under $250, breaking into a depository and larceny from a building.
Eldridge was arrested July 23 by Rochester Detective Donald Kemmett after an investigation into the break-in that lasted one week. The suspect was identified from video surveillance footage.
“This was great police work that resulted in jail time for an individual who has a long record. I am happy he is off the streets,” said Police Chief Paul Magee.
Rochester Police Officers Dylan Hicks and Nathan Valente assisted with the investigation.
